Welcome to 2026! As we step into the new year, it's the perfect time to invite God into our daily lives in a deeper way.
Consider setting one spiritual goal for this year - whether it’s daily prayer, attending Mass more faithfully, or serving others with love.
Here are some of our favourite suggestions:
-
Pick a Catholic daily podcast to listen to faithfully
We love:
Fr Mike Schmitz's Bible in a Year and Catechism in a Year,
Fr Mark-Mary Ames' Rosary in a Year
Catholic Morning Offering Podcast by Deanna Pierre
All of these are available on the major streaming platforms like Spotify, Apple Podcasts, etc. but the easiest platform for the In-A-Year podcasts is the Ascension App (free version)
For more podcast recommendations, reach out to us (Danita is a podcast nut 😁)
-
Pick a new devotion or prayer method
Maybe it could be daily Mass or a daily Rosary, the Divine Mercy Chaplet, Liturgy of the Hours, Lectio Divina or a nightly Ignatian Examen?
- Attending weekly Eucharistic Adoration
- Going for monthly Confession
- Joining in for a course at your local Parish
For events at parishes across SA, check out Holy Gatherings on IG or message us for the link to join the Whatsapp group.
Whatever it is, know that you don't have to do it perfectly and if you fail God will still be right there waiting for you.
We're praying this will be your best year yet!
With love from Surrender Gifts
