A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH
Steps to Take as You Follow Christ
Ask—How does viewing Jesus as my savior from death help me to face head-on the deaths of loved ones and even my own death?
Seek—Fast from passing judgment on anyone today. Realize in this little dying to yourself you are opening yourself to see others as God sees them.
Knock—Meditate on Revelation 1:17-18
When I saw him, I fell in a dead faint at his feet, but he touched me with his right hand and said, ‘Do not be afraid; it is I, the First and the Last; I am the Living One, I was dead and now I am to live for ever and ever, and I hold the keys of death and of the underworld.
Imagine Jesus touching you with his right hand and lifting you up from your death. What other areas of your life are dominated by death rather than the life of Christ Ask Our Lord to free you from all death.
Transform Your Life—Do not shy away from death. Attend the funerals of loved ones and use the experience to engage your faith in Christ. Pray for others, ask the saints to pray for you, seeing in them living examples of the promise of Christ to save us from death.

Ever since I found Discerning Hearts there hasn’t been one day that I haven’t visited it. Every night I pray with Fr Euseef the Padre Pio Prayer. I listen to their guests on their podcasts always inspiring me in my faith. I also pray the rosary and litany of the blessed mother with my husbsnd. When we travel their is always something new or comforting to hear. I’ve turned my fellowship girlfriends to your app. We all know where to go whenever we need Catholic prayers or for new books. Gods Abundant Blessings truly for all you do for us.
