Resolution - Let's "seek the Lord while He may be found; call on Him while He is near" (Isaiah 55:6): 

• Spend time with God in prayer for 30 minutes a day. Here is a wonderful method of mental prayer. This is so important! 
• During those 30 minutes, read Scripture and apply it to your life.
• Use a Scripture based devotional. I love Divine Intimacy by Tan Books.
• Before going to bed,examine your day. Follow these 5 steps:
  1. Give thanks to God for his blessing
  2. Ask Him for the grace of light to know your sins and to reject them
  3. Review your thoughts, words, and actions for what may have been in opposition to the divine commandments
  4. Ask for forgiveness for your mistakes
  5. Then make a commitment to change. Make the resolution to take one concrete step in your effort to change.
• Don't miss Mass on Sundays or Holy Days. We are made to worship. If we don't worship God, we will worship something else. 
• Make sure you are in the State of Grace before receiving Holy Communion. Go to Confession  a.s.a.p. if you are not. 
• Make of yourself a capacity  and God will make Himself a torrent.
