"Becoming better is an ongoing endeavor so whether it’s the first week of 2018 or later, resolutions are always beneficial.
"'Keep it simple,' the experts advise, pointing to dismal statistics
of only a few hardy souls making to February with promises intact. Life
hacks are practically synonymous with simple. They are wildly popular as
oh-so-clever ways to effectively and efficiently make life
improvements. Holy Hacks are simply easy ways to integrate holy habits
in which to grow closer to God and accomplish spiritual good.
"The article, “20 Holy Hacks to Help You Get to Heaven”
had a lot of traffic despite a few detractors. For instance an old high
school classmate challenged me on Facebook, insisting that Jesus saved
us freely so we don't need to earn his favor. Sigh. That old argument.
Catholics don't think of good actions as obstacles to God but rather
opportunities to grow closer to him.
"And so, in the spirit of growing closer to God in 2018, here are some holy hack suggestions."
In a recent commentary, writer Patti Armstrong offered a number of suggestions one may use to improve his/her spiritual life. These suggestions include abstaining from complaining one day a week (without even grumbling about the weather), praising and thanking God throughout the day, and making at least one sacrifice a day, no matter how small.
