About this listen
This episode of Navigating the Cross, "Why Discipline is Important for Catholics," features host Spencer and guest Eliab, a sophomore at St. Leo University who runs track and cross country. Eliab, a cradle Catholic who previously took his faith lightly, shares how attending the Latin Mass inspired him to take his faith more seriously.
The central theme is the necessity of discipline—in both daily life and faith—which Eliab cultivated upon starting college. The hosts discuss how practicing faith, including going to daily Mass and praying the rosary, helps build consistency and discipline. They stress that a relationship with God requires setting aside time, even during periods of spiritual desolation (a test from God) or when one doesn't feel the "lovey-dovey" emotions. Eliab emphasizes the importance of continuing the hard work, even when life feels monotonous.
For those looking to build discipline, Eliab recommends timestamping one's day by scheduling specific blocks for tasks and focusing on structured routines, similar to the disciplined life of a monk. The hosts conclude with the necessity of doing the hard work especially when you don't feel like it.
