For many of us, incorporating
spiritual moments in our daily lives seems like an impossible task. Hereunder,
we would like to share a few tips on how to incorporate prayer in our daily
routines.
-
Take
advantage of any opportunity to pray.
- Memorize short prayers
so you can say them often during the day without carrying a prayer book. In
order to learn them by heart, you can hang them on the fridge or on the bathroom
mirror.
- Begin your day consecrating
your family. An excellent opportunity to do this is during the morning shower.
You can find plenty of consacration prayers in our Prayer
Collection. You can print them out, cut the margin, laminate them and
hang them in your shower.
- Make night prayers brief
and meaningful and do a simple examination of conscience. Here, you can think
about the negative things that happened throughout the day and ask God for
help and guidance, and then think about the positive things and thank God
for these events.
-
When
praying the rosary begin with one decade a day and then gradually increase
the amount of decades.
-
You
don't have to say the five decades at a time, you can spread your rosary
over the entire day.
-
Take
advantage of any moment throughout the day to say as many decades as you
can (ea, when driving in the car, waiting on line, etc...).
-
Rosary
tapes can be useful to listen to when traveling or commuting.
Keep rosaries strategically placed throughout the house and keep one in
the car.
- Offer up chores and
other duties as prayers.
- In order to be reminded
of the presence of God, it is good to choose television programs carefully,
to listen to spiritual music and to keep spiritual object like crucifixes
and holy pictures throughout the home.
- Keep holy water around
and use it abundantly.
- Join a prayer group.
You will experience how invigorating it is to pray with other people and pretty
soon it will become a top priority in your agenda.
