7 Helpful Tips
#1: Eucharistic Adoration
“The time you spend with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament is the best time you will spend on earth. Each moment that you spend with Jesus will deepen your union with Him and make your soul everlastingly more glorious and beautiful in Heaven, and will help bring about everlasting peace on earth.” - Mother Theresa of Calcutta

Here the misery of the soul meets the God of mercy.
