My Prayer Plan

(USA)

I would like to share my prayer plan to give others ideas when formulating their own.

Morning: When I wake I say a quick hello to Jesus. (this I do privately)

Breakfast: We pray Grace Before Meals before we eat then we pray the Morning Offering after we eat as a family.

Lunch: Again we pray the Grace Before Meal before lunch then after lunch we pray the Angelus.

3:00: The Divine Mercy Chaplet

Dinner: Grace Before Meals then after all dinner dishes are cleared and the kitchen is tidied, we pray our family Rosary.

Bedtime: At bedtime I pray three Hail Marys offering them that I stay free from Mortal Sin, remain chaste in my state of life, and for the conversion of sinners. I do a quick examination of conscience then I pray an Act of Contrition. (This I also do privately)

Like Mr. Lawrence, I too find it difficult to pray so I slip from time to time, but centering prayers around my eating schedule helps me tremendously.

Also, before any big trip we pray the Memorare and before school we pray the Guardian Angel prayer and we ask for the virtues of charity, kindness and patience. I need help with these virtues more than the children :)

Before we plan our budget or pay bills, my husband and I pray a prayer to St. Joseph together.

I also feel it is very important to offer a Rosary of thanksgiving any time our prayers have been answered.

The family that prays together, stays together is our families motto as well.

I hope others find this useful.
