What Should a Good Catholic Do Every Day to Help Get to Heaven?
Every Catholic should ask themselves one simple but life changing question: "If today were my last day on earth, would I be ready to meet Jesus?" While we cannot earn heaven through our own efforts, Jesus calls us to cooperate with God's grace by living lives of faith, prayer, repentance, and love. Every day is another opportunity to grow closer to Him and become the person He created us to be.
Start Every Day with God
Before reaching for your phone, spend a few minutes in prayer. Thank God for the gift of another day, ask for His guidance, and offer Him everything you do. A daily conversation with God strengthens your relationship with Christ and prepares you for whatever the day may bring. If you want help developing a stronger prayer life, OCIASchool.com offers free lessons on prayer, while the Prayer and Daily Inspiration sections of SmartGuy.com provide encouragement every day.
Feed Your Mind with Truth
The world constantly fills our minds with noise, distractions, and opinions. Make time each day to read Scripture and learn more about your Catholic faith.

Live Your Faith Every Day
Jesus calls us not only to believe, but to love. Look for opportunities each day to forgive, encourage, serve, and show kindness to others. As you grow in virtues such as humility, patience, honesty, gratitude, and self control, you become more like Christ. The Character Development, Relationships, Leadership, Communication, Family, and Mental Health sections of SmartGuy.com offer practical guidance to help you live your faith in everyday life.
Receive God's Grace
Nothing can replace the grace we receive through the sacraments. Attend Sunday Mass faithfully, receive the Eucharist worthily, and go to Confession regularly. These gifts strengthen us, help us overcome sin, and keep us moving closer to God. OCIASchool.com includes free sessions that explain each sacrament and why they are so important in the life of every Catholic.

Following Jesus should influence every part of your life, including your family, work, friendships, decisions, and character. That is why SmartGuy.com was created.
