The End... (for now)

Dear Saints-in-Training

It has been a pleasure watching you grow on the path of holiness this year.
Somehow you all survived (which was, of course, a lovely surprise!)

Keep your spiritual armour in excellent condition this summer.
You know the drill:

1.) Daily Scriptural Readings

2.) A disciplined prayer life (this is your soul's re-orientation, back to God!)
      - remember to pray for others (Saints-in-training, by definition, serve!)
      - ask for the intercession of the saints (remember this video:)

3.) Don't miss Mass! (Just... don't. Every week you have the opportunity to be in the King's actual, physical presence.)

4.) Do go to confession! (Repair the Breastplate of Righteousness, and restore your Soul Health)

5.) Know your Fruit and Gifts of the Spirit (Use it, or lose it. Don't be like: "I am just going to hide this gift/fruit till Jesus comes back". That story does not end well! )

6.) Be a Righteous Dude! (Your life does not belong to you. You belong to the Creator. Act the part.)

7.) Be a Band of Brothers (keep in touch with your Catholic kin, your brothers-in-arms)

It has been a pleasure to host Saint's Quest this year. I hope to challenge you guys with some amazing adventures and missions in the year to come. 

God bless.

Eben (some people call me Star Lord, but, you know, it's no big deal...)

PREP FOR GAME 33

Read carefully, there is a challenge this time!

1.) Scriptural Readings: Your daily readings will be readings from the Daily Missal. You can get them electronically from this link: http://www.usccb.org/bible/readings/041719.cfm

(For those guys who struggle with reading, it is also available as an audio recording. If you sign up these readings will just go to your email. IF YOU GO TO DAILY MASS YOU WILL GET THESE READINGS AUTOMATICALLY!)

2.) Prayer stays the same: 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.

2.) Simulator: THE SAME VIDEO! You are getting another chance...


 WHY?... Because whoever can memorize these four infectious ideas will be given the rank of Sergeant FIRST CLASS!!!


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.

"The world offers you comfort, but you were not made for comfort. You were made for greatness." Pope Benedict XVI
