10 ways Catholics can live the Year of Faith.	The chairman of the Committee on Evangelization and Catechesis of the USCCB, Bishop Ricken, offers ten ways Catholics can live the Year of Faith. In support of these recommendations, Journal Press is offering resources that reflect the spirit of the Second Vatican Council, and the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
1	Participate in Mass.

2	Go to Confession.
3	Learn about the lives of the saints.
4	Read the Bible daily. Scripture offers first-hand access to the Word of God and tells the story of human salvation. Catholics can pray the Scriptures (through lectio divina or other methods) to become more attuned to the Word of God. Either way, the Bible is a must for growth in the Year of Faith.
