Lisa Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 We have good Catholic moments, we have bad Catholic moments. How can we be better Catholics? Share your goals, hopes, dreams, and ambitions I'm trying to learn some of the more traditional prayers that I had never heard of until college- the Anima Christi, etc. Spiritual reading- but my stack is increasing faster than I can read them.

AccountDeleted Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 (edited) What a wonderful idea for a thread! Sometimes I am good, sometimes I am bad, but I know that Jesus is pleased that I make the effort, so yes, there is much room for improvement in me which might make me a bad Catholic, but I think that's what also makes me a good Catholic, in that I try. I am currently trying to learn the Latin breviary since I hope to enter a community that prays Laud and Vespers in Latin. I know some Latin from Mass but this is the first time I have ever tried to pray the Office in Latin too! I still use my English breviary for the rest of the office, but slowly I am learning the Latin one... I just wish I had a teacher for the chant. A guy in Melbourne said next time I am down there, he will give me some lessons, but that could be awhile yet. And my internet connection is too slow to listen to what's online! Anyway, that's one way how I'm trying to improve my skills but also... ... not to be so competitive in spirit. Sometimes others who are competitive seem to make something click in me that also becomes competitive and I find it hard to break the cycle. I am working on it though and I think I see a small improvement in not letting the 'click' happen in the first place! Great idea for a thread! Edit: I also want to improve so I don't have so many typos Edited July 1, 2011 by nunsense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that nothing would convince them faster than the 'saint' herself contacting them and letting them know how holy she is - after all, humility is so highly overrated these days, isn't it?
