Fr. John A Hardon tells us that there is no substitute for growing in knowledge of Christ through prayer. He also tells us that if we are to fulfill our awesome mission, we must strive to be united with Jesus by receiving Him often in the Eucharist and welcoming Him into our hearts.

Lastly, he explains that love is proved through service.

Ask the Holy Spirit to show you which of these three areas you are being called to grow in. Then move forward boldly to know, receive, and love Jesus!
