PREP FOR GAME 17

Remember to check out this video on how to SET-UP YOUR PROFILE SHEET BEFORE THE GAME EVEN BEGINS! (you can always find this video in the INFORMATION PAGE at MAIN LINKS------->)

1.) Scriptural Readings: Break chapters 2 (all verses) - 3 (verses 1-10) of THE PROVERBS into small chunks (about 6 verses in size each). Read one chunk per day. You must aim to have read them before we play on Wednesday. There is A LOT of wisdom in these passages, so read carefully.

2.) Prayer: Keep a log of your prayer life. At least 10 minutes of prayer a day. This can include:

- Normal 'talking to God' prayer.
- The Rosary
- The Jesus Prayer
Remember to rate how focused you were during prayer. If it was good, it counts as a full 1, if it was so-so, give yourself a half, and if you were not focused at all, a 0.

3.) The Simulator:
FIRSTLY: CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT FATHER MIKE DID THIS VIDEO ON THE SAME DAY - ON EXACTLY THE SAME TOPIC - WE HAD BEEN DISCUSSING?!

Watch Father Mike's video on Am I The Exception?



 Question: Explain 'Exceptionism'.

4.) Keep notes on Righteousness. How well did you follow through on your faith during the week?
What was main victories. Defeats?

5.)  Going to Mass: If you received the Eucharist during Mass you have your soul fully restored. If you are prevented from receiving the Eucharist because of a mortal sin, well, then... get off your behind and go to confession!

6.) Have profile sheet, dice (two six-sided dice), pencil and eraser ready.

7.) Get some cool battle music to listen to (in the background) for next time. Movie soundtracks like Brave Heart, The Lord of the Rings, Inception etc. work really well.

Refitted for closer knowledge, so that the image of God who created him was his pattern (St. Augustine 'The Confessions')
