Community
It is important to join a community of fellow Christians to practice our virtues because it provides support, encouragement, and accountability in our journey of faith. Being part of a Catholic Discord community allows us to learn from others, share experiences, and grow together spiritually. Additionally, it offers opportunities for service, fellowship, and worship, fostering a sense of belonging and unity among believers. Through community, we can more effectively live out our faith, deepen our understanding of God’s word, and bear witness to His love in the world.
Mass
Attending daily Mass is an important step on the road to sainthood because it provides a consistent opportunity for spiritual nourishment, growth, and communion with God. Daily Mass offers a unique encounter with the Eucharist, where Catholics believe they receive the body and blood of Christ, strengthening their bond with Him and fostering a deeper intimacy with God.
Regular participation in Mass cultivates discipline and devotion, helping individuals to align their lives more closely with the teachings of Christ. It reinforces virtues such as humility, gratitude, and reverence, essential qualities for those seeking holiness. Gain accountability in a Catholic Discord community.

01
Prayer
Regular prayer is essential for spiritual growth and communion with God. St. Josemaría advocated for a life of constant conversation with God, known as “the practice of the presence of God,” where individuals strive to maintain awareness of God’s presence in all aspects of their lives.
02
Virtue
Living a virtuous life is central to the journey toward holiness. This includes practicing virtues such as charity, humility, chastity, patience, and diligence. St. Josemaría emphasized the importance of small acts of virtue in everyday life, seeing them as opportunities to grow closer to God.
03
Work and Sanctification of Daily Tasks
St. Josemaría popularized the idea of sanctifying ordinary work and daily tasks by performing them with excellence and offering them up to God. He believed that work could be a means of encountering God and serving others, regardless of one’s profession or occupation.
04
Sacraments and Spiritual Direction
Regular participation in the sacraments, particularly the Eucharist and Confession, is essential for spiritual nourishment and growth. St. Josemaría encouraged seeking spiritual direction from a trusted priest or mentor to receive guidance and support in the spiritual life.
05
Sacrifice and Offering
Embracing the crosses and challenges of life with a spirit of sacrifice and offering them up to God is a key aspect of the path to holiness. St. Josemaría taught that suffering, when united with Christ’s sacrifice, can be a powerful means of purification and redemption.
06
Love of God and Neighbor
Above all, holiness is grounded in love—love of God and love of neighbor. St. Josemaría emphasized the importance of cultivating a deep love for God and expressing that love through acts of charity and service toward others.

The primacy of Peter is unbiblical!
I add this here just because this is, sadly, the most common objection or spam we get in the server. Kefa means rock and Jesus clearly says in Matthew 16:18 that he will build his church on the rock… deal with it.
