The
Christian
life
can be
pictured as
Power
a wheel
of a cart.

The first tool: Prayer
2. Decide on the
practical
details.
3. Decide on a
specific time
of the day,
which you can
then protect.
Where?
Find a place
where you will
not be
disturbed.
Matthew 6:6
But when you
pray, go to your
inner room,
close the door,
and pray to your
Father in secret.
And your Father
who sees in
secret will repay
you.
How long?
Begin with 5 to 10 minutes, and
increase later….
Be open to
changing
your
format as
the Spirit
leads.
Our prayer must be centered
on a relationship with Jesus.
Concentrate
not on
prayer but
on the Lord.
In the Catholic tradition, the intercession
of Mary and the saints is a
powerful tool of Prayer.
The second tool: Study
圣
經
1. The Bible
• We should read the
Bible daily.
• Start with 10 to 15
minutes.
• Pursue a more
deliberate study of
portions of the Bible.
• We should make it a
goal to read the whole
Bible.
2. Spiritual reading
We can
draw on
spiritual
insights and
study
throughout
the life of
the Church.
3. Teachings and preaching.
As a parent
As a spouse As an employee
3. Then we serve our fellow men by
recognizing the many built-in opportunities
for service in day today life.
4. We give witness to our faith in
Jesus by the way we live our lives.
5. Make ourselves and our
resources available for God's work.

Doing good works: James 2:14-17
What use is it, my
brothers, for a man to say
that he has faith, if he
does nothing? will such a
faith give him salvation?
If a brother or a sister is
without clothing and in
need of the day's food,
And one of you says to
them, Go in peace, be
warm and full of food; but
you do not give them the
things of which their
bodies have need, what
profit is there in this?
Even so faith without
works is dead.

Though confession is required only once a
year, we should avail of this more often.
We should receive communion
much more frequently, with the
proper disposition.
Holy Mass
This CLP, your commitment to Christ,
the baptism in the Holy Spirit…
all these are just the beginning of a new life.
If you are faithful, you will
not be disappointed.
