“Whoever knows what is right to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin” James 4:17
How do we know what is right to do? Who are we to look to? No two people out there seem to agree… even often those who claim the same religion or world view, so what now?
Well, for Catholics, a great place to start is with the catechism. Here’s an online version … Catechism of the Catholic Church . You can do a search on any topic and be educated on church teachings.
Beyond that, you need the Holy Spirit and the Sacraments to keep you on the right path, walking in Divine union with God, because that’s what we were created for. To live out our lives with Him… not just after we die… but the here and now…the highs and the lows… all of it. Mortal sin severs this union.
I love these little walk journals put out by Fr. Mark Goring. They are so simple, but yet powerful as they help us focus and remain accountable. The first time I did a 40 day walk commitment, I did so because of my struggles with depression… and it being a ‘freedom walk’, I thought it would be a good thing. It was. I experienced such freedom in that area and it lead to other areas of my life… I’m so grateful. But as it often happens in life in general… being filled with ups and downs as it is… I’m finding that I’m needing a refresher again. So today…on the feast of St. Rita, I’m back on it. This blog will be my daily report. Who wants to join me? 😀
