3 Simple Ways For Continual Growth And Conversion Toward Christ

3 suggested ways, with some sub steps...not to be confused with dub steps, on how to turn your heart toward Christ.

Conversion - A profound change of heart, turning away from sin and toward God.

"We ourselves are to be converted anew every day" - Blessed (for now) John Paul II

Ask questions. If you don't know something – seek out the answer. It is OK - in fact you're encouraged - to question your faith. The key is to research and find answers. Feed your curiosity with seeking answers.

Clergy: My favorite Charism of the Spirit is Knowledge. We have these fountains of knowledge, in the Church, known as clergy (Priest, Deacons, Sisters, Youth Ministers, etc) - gain counsel from them. Ask them questions.

Internet: We have this amazing technology known as the internet – look it up. New Advent. Vatican Website. USCCB. Just to name a few.

Books: There is also these ancient texts known as books – look up your question. (Catechism of the Catholic Church = Best friend).

REMEMBER!
Don't overwhelm yourself and don't get discouraged – we have 2,000+ years of knowledge to soak up. Only bite off as much as you can chew. Just ensure you wait 30 minutes before you go swimming.

Pray : Praying is conversation with God. This aspect of faith is the Catholic Church's bread and butter (or is that the Sacraments?) We have COUNTLESS ways to pray and COUNTLESS people to pray for/with us. Don't forget: Mass is THE highest form of prayer. #dailyMassrocksmysocks

The Bible: Soak yourself in Scripture. Christ is The Word made flesh. This should also piggy back on prayer. Try Lectio Divina or an Ignatian Contemplation with your favorite verse, parable or book.

Sacraments: Root your continuous conversion in the Sacraments. The Eucharist (Jesus) and Confession/Reconciliation are two that we can partake in every day, if we wanted. Find your nearest Catholic Church and GO!

Believe: I know this step seems simple, but the longest journey you will take is from your head to your heart. The Church has the Truth, even if you don't believe it does. Once you truly believe the Truth, it results in KNOWING everything is false. Why? Because Christ is the Truth.
