Year of Faith

I think that the Bishop’s suggestions on how to live this year of faith are all very good and definitely something that all Catholics can work on. 5 resolutions I will make for the year are:

1. Get involved with CSC. I have field hockey practice everyday after school so I cannot do anything with CSC during the fall. I always think that it is too late to join anything after fall but once the winter comes around and field hockey slows down a little, I am sure any of our CSC organizations would be happy to have me help.

2. Go to Church every week. Between school and sports, my life gets so busy at times. Mass is only one hour a week, I definitely need to make time for it. I think if my whole family goes together, it will bring us closer not only to God, but also to each other.

3. Smile more. I really think that a smile can change someone’s day. If someone is having a terrible day, a smile might really pick him or her up and turn his or her day around.

4. Pray more often. I sometimes feel like the only time I pray is when I am in Church or at night. I can pray throughout the day and I do not have to have a special reason to pray, I can just share my feelings with God.

5. Go on a service trip. I really am interested in helping others and I often say that it would be so great to go somewhere to help those in need but I have never really looked into it. This year, I can do some research and hopefully find a service trip that I could go on.
