If you are a Roman Catholic, you may notice I do not include baptism and marriage in my list of disciplines even though they are part of the seven Roman Catholic sacramental practices. This is simply because they are not repeatable. They are initiatory practices. At their best they are not repeated in our lives even though we frequently reconsecrate or celebrate our vows from time to time.4 I have chosen to focus exclusively on the disciplines of Christ given to the church that we live daily as central to our everyday life.
