The Sign of the Cross is a wonderful daily
    expression of our relationship with God. God is
    the One who blesses. This prayer reminds us
    that each day, in good times and bad, in
    danger and sorrow, God's care and blessings
    are never far from us.

    Tracing this holy sign on our forehead, our
    hearts and our shoulders, we remember we
    are blessed in mind and heart and all our
    being. We can approach God with confidence
    through Jesus Christ whose ever present
    through this prayer, "do not be afraid. Before
    you take one step, I reach to embrace you with
    blessings in my hands."

It's funny how we can make time to watch our favorite television, go to our favorite tavern or restaurant.. However, we
just do seem to have the time to pray.
We can easily pray any time, any place and God hears us.. There are the traditional prayers we perhaps memorized
as children, on our parent's knees or some form of religious education. We can sing out praise to the Lord in church,
we can whisper to Him while alone in a deserted park or field or join others in prayer at a chapel. We can be creative
and God won't mind. We can tell God about everything from little nothings to great big problems and He will be
interested. No matter why, when or how we prayer, we can count on Jesus, his Father and the Spirit. Who knows, at
some point, we may realize that He can count on us. Let us give God chance.

Include the opportunity to pray in every day..
  • Pray on your commute: Listen to a tape of Scripture, pray the rosary or just mentally converse with our Lord as
    you drive or ride to and from work each day.
  • Say a prayer each time you hang up the phone: It doesn’t have to be long. Just a simple, “Bless that person,
    Lord” would be plenty.
  • Practice an Alarm Clock Prayer -- every morning when you reach over to turn off the alarm clock -- make sure
    to say a prayer to thank God for another day and for all your blessings.
  • Practice Shower Prayer -- as you take your morning shower, pray to be cleansed of any anger, feelings of
    bitterness and regret.
  • Practice Driveway Meditation -- especially if you commute to work..as you drive ask the Holy Spirit to steer you
    through your day and think about your "to be" list..compassionate, serene, and diligent and let grace-filled
    thoughts fill your mind.
  • Elevator Blessing -- next time you are on an elevator with someone else, ask God to meet the other person's
    unique needs and add a smile on your own.
  • Touch the Earth -- "Never let a day go by without touching the earth with your foot" (Native American saying)
    Even if it is only for 5 or 10 minutes a few times a week.. Take a walk, mediate, and take it slow to observe and
    experience your involvement with all that God has created in nature.
    Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy
    name, Thy kingdom in heaven. Give us this day
    our daily bread and forgive us our trespassers as
    we forgive those who trespass against us and
    lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from
    evil. Amen
    Hail Mary, full of Grace, the Lord is with Thee,
    Blessed art thou among fruit of thy womb, Jesus.  
    Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners,
    now and at the hour of our death.  Amen
    Act of Contrition
    O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended
    because of your just all because they offend you,
    and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with
    the help of your grace, to sin no more and to
    avoid the occasions of sin. Amen.

    heaven
