Prayer.
The goal of all our prayer is to bring us ,and to sustain us in the presence of God throughout the day. The sun of all spiritual exercises is the Mass.
Starting with our morning prayers we look ahead to see the pitfalls that may come our way that day. We make not only a deliberate resolve to avoid them, but we make a concrete plan to put our decisions into practice.
St. Francis teaches how we can live with the Communion of Saints here on earth and this can help to make our daily spiritual journey easier.
Confession.
Do not confess your sins with broad statements,accusations that are irrelevant but mention the reason for your fault,in this way the confessor will be better able to understand your inner dispisitions as regards sin.Also the length of time you have remained in your sin as there is a great difference between a fleeting vanity in your heart ,and one that's there for days.
Three Steps for Growth in Charity and Sin.
Inspiration, Pleasure in it, Concent to it.
Temptation, Delight in it, Concent to it
It is more hurtful to refuse our concent after taking pleasure in some inspiration than if we never welcomed it in the first place.
