Following Jesus: What & How

Make time with Jesus a habit

Say "No" to other things, to say "Yes" to Jesus

What matters most is not when we pray, but that we pray daily

Getting ourselves ready for Jesus to work in our lives

Fasting helps us master ourselves, so we can do right when it is hard

Schedule daily meetings with Jesus

Learn about Jesus by reading the Gospels regularly

St. Thérèse of Lisieux shows how anyone can become closer to Jesus

Get in shape to be good, through prayer, fasting and almsgiving

Behind the words that Christians use, there is a person: Jesus

Jesus asks us neither to acquit nor condemn; he asks us not to judge, and shows us how

You can have a real personal relationship with God, who loves you

Mature Christians pursue holiness themselves, rather than rely on the clergy to be holy for them

Seek to understand rather than to argue 

Certain notions get in the way of following Jesus. Sweep them aside

Jesus shows us how to be humble: serve, and let God decide

Loving God requires loving people. In loving people, we are loving God

Follow God's lead, through prayer, receptivity, discernment and community

To be human is to have limited strength and endurance. Jesus shows that to recharge, make time to pray

Elisabeth Leseur shows us how to pray for our loved ones without pushing or badgering them

Jesus maintains fidelity in the face of futility: it is the only way forward

Christian faith is more than assent to unseen truth, it is a living relationship with Jesus

Often the wants and fears that drive us to sin come from our identities. Jesus welcomes all and calls us all to repentance

Remembering Jesus, who we cannot easily see, in a world with many distractions, requires time and commitment

The relationship of Christian men to women must be humble self-sacrifice, in imitation of Jesus

Prepare for what is coming while there is still time. Do not wait until the last minute

Following the rules is not sufficient. Follow Jesus, he is the one who saves

Throw yourself at Jesus' feet in contrite repentance, and he will forgive you

Make choices in advance to make it easier to be faithful to Jesus

When following Jesus, don't hedge or hesitate, go all in!

Be constant in your faith. Jesus gave us the Church to help
