DIP Elements Series - Class 3 DISCIPLESHIP HOMEWORK

Prayer Time: Keep working on getting up to at least 15 minutes of quality, set-aside, prayer time with God each day and/or increase your already 15 min by 5 or 10min per day (set a timer and really stick with it!)

• In your prayer time, Ask the Lord:
  “Lord, how do You want me to view the Bible's relationship to my life?"
  Then, listen and write what you believe you heard him say?
• Keep trying to start  your prayer time with ACTS prayer (click for explanation and examples).

Bible Reading: Incorporate at least 5 sentences from the Bible in your prayer time...perhaps go all out and use one of the following resources to guide your reading choices:

• Pick a Gospel, start at the beginning and read a couple paragraphs a day prayerfully
• 30 Day Walk with Jesus
• Try out the 40 Day Intensive Bible Challenge (feel free to just do one of the suggested readings per day)
• Read the daily Mass readings or just the Gospel of the day.  You can find them on the USCCB website.  Avoid the temptation to read online, though--force yourself to open the Book, search for the passage and read within the pages of the Bible

Reminder: You can find a variety of Catholic Bibles at the Our Lady of the Rosary Gift Shop in Little Italy or just google/amazon "Catholic Bible"
Some recommendations if you want a Bible with some extra inserts/learning opportunities:
Catholic Answers Bible
Great Adventure Study Bible
