432. What are the precepts of the Church?
They are:
   1) to attend Mass on Sundays and other holy days of obligation and to refrain from work and                  activities which could impede the sanctification of those days;
   2) to confess one's sins, receiving the sacrament of Reconciliation at least once each year;
   3) to receive the sacrament of the Eucharist at least during the Easter season;
   4) to abstain from eating meat and to observe the days of fasting established by the Church; and
   5) to help to provide for the material needs of the Church, each according to his own ability.

433. Why is the Christian moral life indispensable for the proclamation of the Gospel?
Because their lives are conformed to the Lord Jesus. Christians draw others to faith in the true God, build up the Church, inform the world with the spirit of the Gospel, and hasten the coming of the Kingdom of God.

Then consider joining a book study group on Intercessory prayer.  Scripture has a great deal to teach us about prayer, especially intercessory prayer, and Sr. Ann Shield’s book, “Intercession: A Guide to Effective Prayer “ teaches us how to intercede according to God’s mind and will with greater fervour and understanding.  Come and discover the richness of the Bible’s teaching on intercession and revolutionize your prayer life.  If you are interested contact Marta at 403 707-5109.
