Summary: <p>Colin lays out these three basics from his son’s second grade religion class that every Catholic needs to actually do to live faithful, holy lives. </p> <ol> <li>Daily prayer - We really need prayer, now and always. Let’s talk and listen to God everyday.</li> <li>Receive the sacraments - Having a clear conscience before God in confession and being nourished by the Eucharist are essential. </li> <li>Practice virtues - Do what is good and resist what is evil. Look at the example of Jesus and let him lead you forward in morality. </li> </ol> <blockquote> <p><em>"Get back to the basics and practice sound fundamentals – sounds pretty obvious right? Why aren’t we doing it? Getting back to the basic core of Christian life is the key to holiness."</em></p> </blockquote>
