I have to say, your post seems to be asking what we “need” to do rather than what we “should” do, there are differences. If we “need” do say 12 things, we would consider ourselves perfectly complete, justified, sanctified, perfect doing these 12 things. Nothing should be asked more; nothing should be required more. Anything done more would be a waste, simply for appearance sake. You couldn’t be more incorrect in trying to seek the answer to what is the least you can do to “get by”.

This isn’t a ritual in which we seek “covering” for all we do.

You’re making it sound like we’re earing these graces, this is not the way it works.

Yes, each time you talk to God, repeat yourself, don’t try to take the easy way out, God knows what I’m thinking, why do I need to tell Him?
Morning Offering and offering up suffrages
Oh yeah! Maybe I shouldn't complain so much since I'm suffering for God.
