Our life of faith also needs to go through the whole process of spiritual conditioning Illustrative photo: Wesley Almeida \/ cancaonova.com training: he studies the opponent’s tactics, rehearses moves and seeks a favorable physical conditioning in the field. <\/span>Without this rigorous training, victory is virtually impossible to achieve. 4) Enjoy your time well: avoid making fouls, as many of them can cause a penalty. <\/span>This way, you are more likely to take a goal without need! <\/span>Play with wisdom and confidence, but without being aggressive. <\/span>Make time your friend to achieve victory. <\/span>Whoever wins a game only by faults . . . <\/span>his plays against sin have no strength, but feed them even more.

\n<\/span>In a football match, the corner is used to restart a match. <\/span>During a soccer match, there are many times when it is necessary to restart the game. <\/span>And in our spiritual life? <\/span>When do I need to restart the walk? <\/span>When do I need to start over? <\/span>When do we need to break with sin?<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/span>In the game of life, we seek victory over sin. <\/span>We run, we sweat, we dribble the adversary and want, together with our brothers, to be the champions in the team of sanctity. <\/span>But we can not always achieve the trophy of life over death. <\/span>Often we are unprepared. <\/span>We lack more intensive training so that we can enter the field and overcome the forces of evil. <\/span>Every player goes through this process: before entering the field for a soccer match, he undergoes rigorous<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/span>Some rules to win<\/strong>
\n<\/span>Our life of faith also has to go through the whole process of spiritual conditioning to put the sin of a corner and restart a new move in favor of holiness. <\/span>For our performance in the field of life to be favorable, some rules to win are fundamental:
\n<\/span>1) Prayer life: dribble against laziness with your willpower and discipline, invest in daily moments of prayer. <\/span>Make them your victory against discouragement. <\/span>Be the top scorer of the championship of life and score many goals against sin!
\n<\/span>2) Cultivate patience: if you missed the move or something stole your peace, if you scored a goal in favor of sin, do not be discouraged! <\/span>Win the game for the fight of holiness with faith! <\/span>Be persistent in seeking victory and win again. <\/span>Always look for the main purpose of your field in life. <\/span>Your goal is to be holy, but be assured that to be a saint you must first learn to be human. <\/span>For this reason, make it a goal to act against the lack of patience with yourself.
\n<\/span>3) Have friends who pursue the same goals as you. <\/span>Unity is strength, and true friends lead us to the ways of God. <\/span>In the field of life, only the team that learns to share the bids and play in union will be victorious. <\/span>Join your friends and make a barrier against sin. <\/span>Alone, we can do nothing; <\/span>but when we share the difficulties, no play of sin can overcome our barriers.<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/span>5) Put sin of a corner: restart a new match in the field of faith whenever you need it. <\/span>In the game of holiness against sin, we always have the opportunity to start over. <\/span>There is no need to force a yellow card before the opponent. <\/span>Be the champion of love, the keeper of hope and the coach of wisdom in victory against sin!
