Catholic Resolutions in the New Year 2025 It's not uncommon for those in the Catholic Church to hear New Year's Resolutions involving more exercise, more travel, or more savings! And many have heard the typical New Year's Resolution to pray more... Dr Luis Sandoval will give Catholics real New Year's Resolutions that will guarantee any listener to focus only on their salvation. The only thing that matters for our perpetual souls is that we make it to heaven so why not center this year's changes around confirming our minds to Christ? In the show that focuses heavily on Mental Health, Dr Sandoval recommends not just praying more, but frequently attending a prayer group to hold yourself accountable to prioritizing prayer. Groups like the Legions of Mary will meet regularly and you can use that for keeping a consistent prayer schedule. For those of us who are above the ordinary discipline of praying all day, Dr. Sandoval recommends that you learn the Liturgy of the Hours.
