How to Practice Your Faith Daily
Let’s review five inspiring ways you can practice your faith and continue to connect to something greater than yourself:
1. Participate in Mass Every Sunday.
If you are unable to attend in-person mass as a result of an illness or injury, you can still attend mass virtually. CatholicTV and other online sites offer daily and on-demand masses you can watch on your phone, laptop, tablet, or smart TV. You can also contact your local Church to see if they are recording their masses and sharing them online.
2. Begin Each Day with Morning Prayer or Meditation.
There’s no better time to establish peace, harmony, and tranquility than as the sun is rising on the day. Before you start your busy schedule, take at least 10 minutes each morning to say a prayer or participate in a morning meditation. Both activities can improve your self-awareness, ease your stress and help you settle nervous thoughts and emotions.
3. Read Your Bible
Like morning prayer, regularly reading the Bible can help you practice your faith, even if you aren’t at Church. If you’re able to, take your bible with you and spend time reading outside. This will give you some much-needed fresh air while maintaining your spiritual wellness.
4. Participate in Small Group Bible Study Sessions.
Do you have family members or friends from your Church community who you would like to practice your faith with? If you’re physically able, you can meet them for weekly bible study. This interaction will be great for your well-being. If you cannot meet in person, try bible study sessions through a video call.
5. Participate in Volunteer Opportunities.
Helping others is a great way to truly live out your spiritual values and morals. Find local volunteer opportunities to take part in. If you can’t volunteer in person, try virtual volunteering with organizations like United Nations or Zooniverse, or donating to a local non-profit organization.
For other ways to practice your faith, you can reach out to your local Church and see how you can stay involved with their activities.
