Everything needs its maintenance to keep going, including my soul. Our souls can be kept healthy through the following five ways.

First, by prayer. Since prayer is the breath for the Christian, if I cease to pray I die.

Second, by fasting. Fasting is saying no to my egoism and yes to serving the Lord in my neighbour.

Third, by the Eucharist. The participation and adoration of the Eucharist prepare me to serve Jesus in the needy.

Fourth, by meditating on God’s word. If I consult the Bible with the same frequency as I consult my cellphone,  my life shall be transfigured in Jesus.

Fifth, by confession. On this great sacrament, Pope Francis said: “In confession, Jesus welcomes us with all our sinfulness, to give us a new heart, capable of loving as he loves.”

Am I ready to maintain my soul healthy through these five ways?
