This can be spending regular time reflecting on the life of a saint or a passage in the Bible or Catechism.  Or it can involve visiting the Blessed Sacrament once a week.   It can also mean befriending someone who is sick or alone.  Or it can also include teaching at Sunday School.  It can mean putting in extra effort towards properly parenting your children.  Or it can mean putting in the effort to stop a bad habit. 

The point of devotion is to move beyond what you would normally do in your daily routines and habits and self preoccupations, to respond to God's grace and calling.  Some would call these acts of sacrifice.   Take some time to reflect on what God might be calling you to do and go for it.

Here are some other ideas. This list will be updated periodically.

- Become a pen-pal of someone in prison
- Bring meals to those who cannot cook for themselves
- Teach CCD (Sunday School)
- Share your musical talents at church or with those sick or shut in.
- Read the Bible daily with the aim of reading it cover-to-cover in a set      period of time.      
- Read the Catholic Catechism daily
