The Judgment Of Conscience, ccc 1777

Moral conscience, present at the heart of the person, enjoins him at the appropriate moment to do person, enjoins him at the appropriate moment to do good and to avoid evil. It also judges particular choices, approving those that are good and denouncing those that are evil. It bears witness to the authority of truth in reference to the supreme Good to which the human person is drawn, and it welcomes the commandments. When he listens to his conscience, the produent man can hear God speaking.
