For all Catholics
« on: July 22, 2019, 05:55:27 PM »
“Take short, cold showers

Practice regular, intense exercise. Walk and pray the Rosary. 

Get a full night’s sleep (at least 8 hours is recommended)

Abstain from alcohol.

Abstain from desserts and sweets.  Eat an apple. 

Abstain from eating between meals. No snacking.  

Abstain from soda or sweet drinks.   Unsweetened ice tea.  And water is the best. 

Abstain from television, movies, or televised sports.  

Abstain from video games.  Read the Bible and Catholic books. 

Abstain from nonessential material purchases. (Think simplicity.)”

Only listen to music that lifts the soul to God.

Only use the computer for work, school, or essential tasks (e.g., paying bills)

Only use mobile devices and internet for essential communications to promote and defend the faith. 

Practice fasting days: Wednesdays and Fridays (abstain from meat and only eat one full meal, as well as two smaller meals that together are not equal to a full meal)”. 

This should be done everyday by all Catholics.

I especially agree with and recommend the following 3:

Abstain from television, movies, or televised sports
Abstain from video games (it's boring and useless)
Only listen to music that lifts the soul to God (modern music is so disgraceful and ugly)


And I'd strongly recommend this to my wife:
Abstain from nonessential material purchases. (Think simplicity.)

All the other practices are also good, if you could practise all of them, then you'd be a saint.

I'm curious to hear what music lifts the soul to God and how. Is it only Church music? If so, shouldn't that be listened to in Church? Also, is ALL modern music disgraceful and ugly or are there exceptions? Is it possible for anyone to make music that lifts the soul to God in this modern time?

See what you think - does it lift your soul to God?



I've heard better versions, but this one is good, one of my favorites.
