While reflecting on the readings of this day (Wis 2:12, 17-20; Jas 3:16-4:3; and Mk 9:30-37) and on his personal life experiences, Fr. Riccardo reminds the congregation that Christian life is about establishing great habits. Fr. John encourages the congregants to pray daily, to read God's word, and to be faithful to the sacraments. Fr. John also recommends a nightly examination of conscience.
