The Sacred Discipline of Catholic Traditional Mortification
Catholic traditional mortification is not about self-harm but about divine discipline that recognizes the critical importance of biblical self-control and the sacred need to maintain Christian discipline through traditional practices. Catholics are called to practice traditional mortification that demonstrates self-control, discipline, and spiritual reverence, and serves as a witness of God's power in traditional mortification. This traditional mortification is rooted in the biblical understanding that we are called to honor sacred self-control, as we read in Galatians 5:23: 'Gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.' Catholic traditional mortification serves as an instrument of God's self-control and discipline.
Biblical Foundation of Traditional Mortification
The Bible provides a rich foundation for Catholic traditional mortification practice. In 1 Corinthians 9:25, we read: 'Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable.' This passage reminds us that we should exercise self-control like athletes. Catholics must recognize that their traditional mortification is a form of service to God and others. This understanding guides their approach to developing traditional mortification reverence and effectiveness.

This self-control reflects the understanding that we should honor traditional mortification.
Spiritual Reverence and Control

Catholics are called to demonstrate immediate action and practice through their traditional mortification practice. This means taking immediate action to practice traditional mortification and maintaining sacred self-control. Catholics must be guided by the biblical principle that we should exercise self-control in all things (1 Corinthians 9:25).

Prayer and Traditional Mortification Spirituality

This spirituality reflects the biblical understanding that we should pray for control and discipline (Galatians 5:23).
Witness and Example

This means conducting themselves with self-control and reverence, treating others with dignity and respect, and being a positive presence in their mortification community. Catholics must recognize that their traditional mortification has an impact on others. This witness reflects the biblical call to be salt and light in the world (Matthew 5:13-16).
