cyril is a very monk. he devotes his life to religion and earnestly follows the of his church. he is not interested in matters, which he regards as distractions from the worship of the that he believes

Given the word choices on the comments section of your question, and given the structure of the paragraph, the first thing I will do is tell you what each word means, and then organize them inside the sentence. I hope that this helps.

Piety: its the quality of being religious or devoted to a religion or system of belief.

Doctrine: It is the codification of the beliefs, or the teachings that are present in a religious system of belief.

Deity: It is a higher being, or higher power in which a religion or system of belief may believe in.

Zeal: The enthusiasm with which something is pursued, or a goal is met.

As such, the paragraph would be organized in this manner:

Cyril is a very pious monk. He devotes his life to religion and earnestly follows the doctrine of his church. He is not interested in zealous matters, which he regards as distractions from the worship of the Deity that he believes in.

The order of these words comes from following the logic within the structure of the paragraph itself and you also use the clue words within the paragraph to guide you in organizing the words and putting them in their correct grammatical form.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

the present continuous is a verb tense which is mainly used to indicates that an action is in progress at the moment of speaking.  

it is formed using: person + verb to be (am/is/are) +verb + - ing form  

example: i am studying at this moment .

in addition, the present continuous is also used in order to express things that will or will not happen in the near future.

example: i am having dinner with some friends tonight.

the speaker sometimes   uses it   to express that an action is repeated and it causes irritation on the part of the speaker

example: my sister is constantly complaining about everything.
