Spiritual Fitness for New Year's Resolutions


In Father Vince’s homily for the Feast of Mary, Mother of God, he pointed out that it coincides with the secular new year, a time when many of us our making resolutions. Most people are focused on the resolution for getting physically fit, but Father Vince suggested some resolutions for being spiritually fit, especially for the Year of Faith, in order to better know our faith and to evangelize others about Jesus. Bishop Coyne’s recent blog post, New Year’s Resolutions for the New Evangelization, was used as a model to help improve spiritual life for the New Year.  These are some great resolutions to incorporate into plans for the New Year, especially sharing faith in Jesus with someone daily.   Enjoy reflecting on them and pick a few for yourself in the New Year.    Call on the Holy Spirit to help you carry through to stick with the resolutions.   May God bless you!
