A Catholic priest for nearly four decades and a retired reserve chaplain from the United States Air Force, Father Thomas Maikowski leads religious services in the northern regions of Arizona. Father Thomas Maikowski practices Catholicism and helps his congregation understand how to fulfill their purpose as dictated in the Bible.
One of the primary purposes for a devout practitioner of Catholicism involves serving others. While service can be in the form of obtaining an education in theology to become a priest or missionary, some people are called to marriage and a family life, where they can make a difference in the lives of others on an everyday basis. The following are a few ideas for daily practice.
1. Reflect on blessings and challenges regularly by praying. Scheduling daily time for prayer allows you to step away from your daily routine to thank God for the blessings you have received.
2. Make time to help the less fortunate. Seeking opportunities to participate in service projects fulfills your mission to serve others who are downtrodden or are facing injustices.
3. Strive to forgive and be forgiven to celebrate the Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation. Listen to your conscience and seek forgiveness of those you have offended.
4. Share your faith in the presence of others by joining a small Christian community. Joining a community allows you to grow alongside fellow believers and encourage others in their faith.
