There are many
ways in which we can obtain coaching from Heaven.
As Catholics,
we are blessed with the Holy Sacraments.
We meet Jesus in the Mass, where we unite ourselves together as a
family in Jesus Christ, and where we meet Him in Word, in the Holy
Eucharist and in each other.
In the Sacrament
of Confession, we can confess our sins, receive guidance, heal from
our sins and start all over as new people.
The Sacrament
of Confirmation brings an increase and deepening of the baptismal
grace, it unites us more firmly to Christ, it increases the gifts
of the Holy Spirit in us, and it renders our bond with the Church
more perfect, [Cf. LG 11.]. It gives us a special
strength of the Holy Spirit to spread and defend the faith by word
and action as true witnesses of Christ, to confess the name of Christ
boldly, and never to be ashamed of the Cross [Cf. Council
Of Florence (1439) DS 1319; LG 11; 12.] .
Through fasting
and prayer, we can wake up the gifts of the Holy Spirit that tend
to slumber in us. These gifts are "a spirit of wisdom and understanding,
a spirit of counsel and strength, a spirit of knowledge and of fear
of the Lord".
The key of keeping
this ongoing presence of God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit is prayer
and through the reading of the Bible as it is at those occasions that
God speaks to us.
Prayers are always
answered although we don't know when and how. God can answer our prayers
in a way we do not always understand. It is important that we don't
loose faith as God can only help us if we believe in him.
