'Yo Soy El Pan Vivo Bajado Del Cielo'Recently, my prayer life has become more concrete, rather than the occasional prayer moments. After our staff retreat in May and our pomise as a community to pray the Rosary everyday. I have found that it is indeed hard to do so. I have found myself asleep after the 2nd mystery or not ending the rosary at all missing one or two of them. I can pray the rosary completely in a group. Alone I find myself distracted by thoughts of people or things I need to do.
Working with my children, I have found that a set shedule works best when it comes to accomplishing things. With out a written schedule and promise to self, nothing really gets done. So, I recently created a prayer schedule for myself. I have yet to put it into practice. Funny me, I forgot to schedule the weekends in, lol.
So, far it is as follows:
Monday, Wednesday, and Friday:
5:30a Prayer in the garden (like when Jesus went to the garden to pray alone to his father after performing so many miracles)
6am Open the rosary and pray it throughout the day ending it before dinner
(One mystery done with a few of the kids in my house)
Tuesday and Thursday:
5:30a Prayer of Joy and happiness
10:30a Rosary complete.... Tues. Individually and Thurs. with Jeanette
Like I said I forgot to include the weekend, will do soon. I want to pray one mystery with my kids because I did that one day and had them say the prayer for that mystery (that day I did 3 with them, lol). Plus, it helped that I had chocolate for them afterwards, jejejeje.
God has become more than just some great being in my life. He is much more... he is a friend, a protector, a mentor, a father. Through prayer and faith I continue to be in awe of his greatness. Finding that spiritual calmness amongst the hecticness of CDLN has become easier. All I have to do is look at the faces of my children and up at the sky :)
