Year of Faith

The Bishop suggests only ten very do-able ways Catholics can live the year of faith. These suggestions should not be a surprise to Catholics. However, if they have not been practicing these ten things, this is the year to start over and begin this year of faith right. I can resolve my year of faith by several different ways. First, I can attend mass more often and encourage others as well, not only just my family members but also friends. Second, I can incorporate daily prayer and reflection into my life by taking just a few minutes out of my day. The third way I could follow the year of faith is I can try to lend a helping hand more often and help people in need. This could be with family members, but also friends and fellow students as well. I could also attend Saint Francis Inn Soup Kitchen more often as I have in past years. Also, I want to help out with my dad’s program at work that gathers presents for families in need around the holiday season. My father and I have dropped bags of presents off to these families in need every year, and this year I want to gather more presents and give back even more. This does not have to be just around Christmas time, this could be all year round. Finally, I will be more appreciative for the things that I possess and grateful to have such loving friends and family. These people mean to a lot to me and I want them all to know that.
