Chaotic Morning? Try These Prayers




The Tightrope: Reflections for Busy Catholics show

Summary: <p>Colin has two non-negotiables when it comes to morning prayers:</p> <ol> <li>Some kind of interior prayer.</li> <li>Some kind of family prayer.</li> </ol> <p>The interior prayer helps him immediately start the day with God in mind. The family prayer helps him orient the family mission towards God. </p> <p>Though the MacIvers attempt to say a decade of the Rosary every morning, they sometimes need something a little shorter for those days when nothing goes right. </p> <p>Check out Colin’s prayers below, and tell us about your morning prayers in the comments!</p> <p>Snippet from the Show</p> <p><em>“If you can start off the day with interior prayer, it’s more likely that your inner monologue will turn into an inner dialogue.”</em> </p> <p><strong>Interior Prayer</strong><br> Here I am Lord, I come to do your will. <br> My intellect is dark and my will may be weak, <br> but it’s you oh God I’m after, <br> your face oh Lord I seek.</p> <p><strong>Family Prayers</strong><br> Jesus I love you, Mary I love you. Help us to be more like you.</p> <p>Little Flower, Little Flower, show your power in this hour.</p> <p>We adore you oh Christ and we praise you, because by your holy cross, you have redeemed the world.
