Since Advent and Lent are Penitential seasons, these are times for us to repent for our sins.
In my own Catholic faith, we must confess our sins regularly to a clergy member to cleanse our souls for communion.
No matter how holy I strive to be, I as a human have my share of shortcomings. With a conscience, I’ve constantly prayed

Remorse for our mistakes won’t do us any good if we keep repeating them. Learning lessons from our wrong actions and doing right by GOD will lead us closer to Heaven …

My Church celebrated our ☼milestone☼ anniversary of our ♥Adoration♥ †Chapel† last night!
During his homily, our Bishop told us of five ways to pray at the Blessed Sacrament:
- Praise
- Contrition
- THANKSgiving
- Petitions
- Communion
The fifth type means to simply be with GOD. Our Bishop also reminded us that the Eucharist and Perpetual Adoration both our important, yet taking the Body and Blood of CHRIST is the top priority of our faith.

Happy 🌍Earth🌎 🌏Day🌞 yesterday!

The first sign of being a Dynamic Catholic is Prayer.
We all pray differently in our daily lives, yet the practice that Matthew Kelly (2012) points out that can enhance our own communication with GOD is through our Examination of Conscience*, which we Catholics do before Confession, and we listen for His message.
Here, he goes through the steps of The Prayer Process:
- Gratitude
- Awareness
- Significant Moments
- Peace ✌
- Freedom
- Others
- Our Father
We opened our R.E. class with this simple reminder of the beginning…

The First 3 Commandments
- I am the LORD, your GOD; you shall have no other GODs besides Me.
- You shall not take the name of the LORD your GOD in vain.
- Remember the Sabbath Day, to keep it Holy.
