Live and Pray
Discover how professed and celebrated faith becomes daily life, moral choice, and a personal relationship with God through prayer.
Why choose this course
Understanding the Christian vocation in everyday life
The Christian faith is not only about what we profess; it also shapes the way we act, make choices, build relationships, and turn to God.
The course introduces the third and fourth parts of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, devoted to life in Christ and Christian prayer. It explores the human vocation to life in the Spirit, the meaning of the Ten Commandments, and the biblical foundations of prayer.
Through video lessons, concise materials, and self-assessment activities, you will come to understand Christian morality not simply as a set of rules, but as a response to God’s grace and a path of freedom, communion, and personal transformation.
