A Simple Reminder
A Catholic is not known only by what they own, but by how they live: prayerfully, faithfully, humbly, and lovingly. Having these items is good, but growing closer to God through prayer, the sacraments, and acts of charity is even more important.
"Pray the Rosary, read the Bible, attend Holy Mass, receive the Sacraments, and strive for holiness every day." πβοΈπΏ
