Growing Through the Motions: Living Your Faith with Intention

Growing Through the Motions: Living Your Faith with Intention

Live Out Your Catholic Faith with Meaning and Intentionality Every Day

Do you ever feel like you’re just going through the motions in your faith? Maybe the Mass, which is meant to be a profound encounter with the Lord, has started to feel routine or even boring. We get it—it’s easy to lose sight of the deeper meaning behind our actions when we do them over and over again.

But here’s the good news: our Catholic faith is rich with purpose and intention. Every action, every prayer, and every moment of the Mass has a deeper meaning that can help us grow closer to God. In Growing Through the Motions: Living Your Faith with Intention, Fr. Mike Schmitz shows us how to rediscover the beauty and significance of our faith in everyday life.
