1 - READ THE WORD
Your Whole Life Dedicated to Faith
At once the Spirit sent him out into the wilderness, and he was in the wilderness forty days, being tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals, and angels attended him.
Mark 1:12-13

2 - Reflect
The demands of today's world continually put us to the test. So many demands are placed on us that we often imagine a life without setbacks as an ideal situation.
We think that it would be ideal to have a simpler life. A reality without anguish, without conflicts, without challenges, fears or uncertainty.
Of course, this image may be attractive, but we must understand existence and the paths the Lord has laid out for us as a whole.
Think: How could we evolve in the Word of God without concrete challenges, how could we grow in Christ if we do not have decisive instances in our lives, how could we even come close to knowing ourselves and taking actions that glorify the Lord?
We should not be confused, we have not been sent into the world to be tested or to suffer. We have come to live in the Love of Christ. We have been endowed with the most wonderful of gifts: Life. Let us honor it and we will be honoring the Lord.
To practice an authentic and true Faith is an action that is born of the most heartfelt Love and Commitment to our Heavenly Father. He constantly gives us testimony that Faith is transformed into something vital, real, palpable that translates into Work and Action.
We know that the Path that the Lord has chosen for us will not be exempt from difficulties, storms and burdens that will put us in the situation of making great decisions. In those stretches, hold on to your Faith, nourish it and be sure that God the Father is at your side, guiding you.
