New American Bible (NAB) translation

New Testament:

• Mark 16:14-18

• 1 Peter 3:15-16

• John 15:5

Old Testament:

• Isaiah 52:7

Catechism of the Catholic Church:

• Paragraph 849

Takeaways:

• In the 'infancy' of our faith, we tend to be reluctant when it comes to going out and sharing the Gospel with others.

• Evangelization is not an option when you are a Christian; it is mandatory!

• We are called to be 'missionary disciples'; as such, we must keep our personal relationship with Jesus at the forefront of our minds.

• The best ways to stay close to Christ and deepen our relationship with Him are through prayer, reading scripture, frequent reception of the Sacraments, and studying the teachings of the Church.

• In doing so, we can preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ to a hurting world!

Spiritual Arms: Five Minutes for the Battle

Kick off your day with 5 minutes of faith!

New American Bible (NAB) translation

New Testament:

• Mark 15:33-39

• Luke 9:23

Old Testament:

• Psalm 22

• Wisdom 2:12-20

Catechism of the Catholic Church:

• Paragraph 614

Takeaways:

• The Crucifix can be a reminder of how Jesus died for you and how much He loves you.

• We must deny ourselves out of love for others; this is what it means to be a follower of Christ - a Christian.

• While most of us will never be called to martyrdom, we ARE called to self-deny for the sake of our spouses, children, and neighbors.

• The strength to pick up our cross daily comes from the grace of the sacraments, especially Reconciliation and the Eucharist.

• Every time you see the Crucifix, think of the mercy that God has shown you throughout your life.

• Recite the Jesus Prayer as often as you can: "Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner."
