Stage 3 β€” Walking the New Life

This stage has trained the heart to live what it believes. No longer focused only on leaving sin behind, the soul now learns how to grow in virtue, deepen friendship with God, and persevere through struggle. Daily life becomes the place where faith is proven, love is practiced, and eternity is chosen through ordinary decisions.

Prayer

Dear Lord, You have called me out of my old ways and into a new life with You. Teach me to live what I believe, not only in words but in daily choices. Strengthen me when I grow tired, guide me when I am unsure, and keep my heart fixed on what lasts forever. Let my life quietly reflect Your grace, so that in all things I may walk as Your child. Amen.
