Synopsis
The Light Of The Conscience by H. L. Sidney Lear is a devotional manual from 1876 that treats the conscience as the organ of spiritual life, grounded in the love of God. The Preface by Rev. T. T. Carter explains its aim: to offer practical guidance on self-discipline, recollection, prayer, meditation, and daily duties for those seeking to advance in holiness. The work proceeds through sections including Light is Love, Recollection, Prayer, Meditation, Ejaculatory Prayer, and Particular Self-Examination, with further chapters on Holy Communion, Confession, Spiritual Reading, and Common Faults. It attends to irritability, calmness, and the sanctification of daily family life, and offers guidance for retreats, the presence of God, and the profitable use of faults. Throughout, Lear emphasizes the transformation of life through love of God, humility, and fidelity to God’s will, urging a steady, practical path toward sanctification in ordinary life.
