Have you established a “rhythm” of prayer in your home?
Praying together as a family is essential, according to Nancy of Catholic Sprouts. “You need this, your kids need this, the world needs this,” she writes. So, how?
Gather everyone together before bed. Make the Sign of the Cross. Read from a devotional, like the Little Black Book, your family will be able to pick up soon, or even online ones. Ask everyone to recount their blessings. Offer any additional prayers. (Copies of The Catholic Devotional are available at all worship sites.)
Lent is a perfect time to begin, if you don’t already have an established prayer time. A habit done over 40 days is likely to continue.
Come Holt Spirit.
Author, songwriter and evangelist Chris Bray reminds us that evangelization begins when we live in such a way that people start wondering, “What do they have that I don’t?”
