A prayer plan for a busy person
Begin with one of these suggestions and continue as you can make time…
Morning prayers
Before breakfast, say some prayers from basic or from daily prayers. If possible, meditate for 5 minutes.
Mid-day prayers
Before or after lunch, say the Rosary. As your day goes on, honor Jesus with words of love, praise and thanks.
Night prayers
Bring all your needs and problems to Jesus. Read a page of the New Testament and try to apply what you read to your own life.
If you miss some prayers, get back on track next day. To have Jesus in your life, you need to spend time with Him.
Finding time to pray video
Faithfulness to daily prayer is important. With faithfulness to prayer, you will grow much closer to Jesus, the One who gave His life for you.
It doesn't have to be all at once. You can pray at different times, in different places during the day. It's better to spend a short time praying than to skip it altogether.
Going deeper in prayer
Many people have a desire to go deeper in prayer.
They want to learn more about the mystery of God
and His love for us.
