Live in Christ
“yet I live, no longer I, but Christ lives in me; insofar as I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God who has loved me and given himself up for me.”
Galatian 2:20
Discipleship is an intentional commitment to follow Christ - to learn more about Him and His Church, to live your life in light of the Gospel, and to participate in the sacramental and community life of the Church.
Through prayer, ongoing learning, and living the Sacraments you will grow as a disciple of Christ and begin to live and act as true children of God.
How
can I live in Christ?
Am I
prepared to live in Christ?
What
is Christ calling me to be?

1. What does it take for me to “live in Christ?
You may start by increasing your knowledge about the Catholic Faith, embracing your identity as a son/daughter of God, and asking God in prayer for discernment, strength and guidance.
2. How long will it take for me to “live in Christ”?
It certainly does not happen overnight and it is not a one-size-fits-all process. In God’s time, your heart and life will transform into that of Christ and He will live in you - and through you - for the Glory of His Holy Name.
3. How about if I have not been the “perfect” disciple; will I have a chance to live in Christ?
God understands us, forgives us, embraces us, and loves us even when we make mistakes (Psalm 103:12). We are called to greater things in life, to grow closer to God, and to bring others to Jesus. God all merciful will meet us where we are, and forgive our transgressions if we only ask - with a contrite heart for His forgiveness.
