A Sacramental Rhythm
The Catholic Steps are not merely a list of behaviors. They are a system — a sacramental rhythm of death and rebirth. The participant moves through resentment and amends, through confession and communion, in a cycle that ascends with each iteration.
The key add-on to the Catholic system is sponsorship: confessing resentments to another confirmed Catholic. Catholics have a system for confessing sins. The Steps provide a system for confessing resentments — which fuel sin.
“When we walk with Jesus in the Eucharist, we walk through the fires of earth, unfettered and unhurt. Free.”

“Preach the gospel at all times, and when necessary, use words.”
