    First thing in the morning I put my baby in the stroller and I walk and while I am walking I say the rosary! It's worked so well for us! Gets me at least 15 minutes of exercise. If I have more time/energy, I listen to a Catholic podcast.

    Thank you for your video, you are such a blessing, we are so lucky. Just talking about praise, I suffer from anxiety and depression but whenever I spend time praising God, maybe for 10-15 minutes, I feel so full of joy and peace.

      So love your videos and explain things I might not understand otherwise. I've become to love the church some of which you had a very big part of that. My children are gone and married but still get so much out of your videos. Thank you and please keep them coming!! AMEN😇

    I also love knowing that when I attend Mass that people all over the world are doing the same. My parents live in Cozumel and when I attend I smile because I know my friends and family back home are celebrating with me.

      Rachel B I completely understand. I have been to mass in different countries and different US states and it's nice to know the mass is the same. No matter where I hear the mass I always feel at home.

    Heather thank you so much for this video. You really have spoken to me though Our Lord in every word you said. Since Easter Vigil after receiving all three sacraments, I felt everything go away. I just posted on FB early this evening how I so need quite time with Our Lord, and Blessed Mother. I haven't done the Rosary for 2 weeks now, and so here I come to UA-cam and here you are again. Thank you so much! You are truly a blessing, and inspiration for so many. Love ya. God Bless!!! 🌹🙏💒

    Thanks for the video Heather! Great timing for me - I was just looking up tips or guidance on personal prayer. Another method I heard of was using your hand. Thumb - people closest to you (family, friends), index - teachers, middle - leaders, ring - those who are in need or sick, pinky - ourselves and palm - giving thanks. I think I like the PAL method. Its seems clear and easy and allows time to LISTEN to God and not just be the one doing the speaking!
    I usually pray the rosary on my bus ride to work every morning - even using my fingers to count if its busy. It is a nice start to my workday.
    I also need to devote time in the morning for my personal prayer. At night I say a few small things but am too exhausted to do all I want to. Father Mike Schmidt has a great video on finding time to pray as well.
    Thanks again and God Bless xo

    • @angelamcfarlane5105
      @angelamcfarlane5105 4 роки тому +1

      My interpretation is that you would say one Thank- you on each bead, for example, thank you for my life, thank- you for this day, thank- you for my food, thank- you for the rain, thank-you for this beautiful flower....and so on, on each bead. Fifty Thank- You’s. So much to be grateful for!

    Lovely video. For me I only set aside time to pray my rosary and add my petitions in between. As for my personal prayer, I talk to God all through the day while doing chores. It could be singing, or asking him something that I wonder about.

    Thank you for introducing me to the gratitude rosary and this clever acronym....now I have a formula to go to so I can get started with my prayer in a set way....I've been starting my prayer time with the daily readings and I too feel the power of having the readings be universal ... it's so amazing. I found the Small Steps book to be life giving when I first became a mom...it is Fabulous!!!!!! You've reminded me to go take it out and start again.

  • @MyNickyMouse

    It's weird you bring up this topic, i spent yesterday looking up ways to talk, and most importantly, hearing God. I take these steps
    1. Worship - play a song, ask him to come into the space, into our bodies
    2. Pray - ask my question
    3. Wait, listen for his response

    I know this video is old but it came up in related videos. I recently found out that the USCCB has a podcast of all the readings that I download and listen to along with the share jesus podcast that is a reflection. The iMissal app will also read the readings to you but it's kind of clunky.

    That P.A.L. acronym was great. However, you described something that wasn't "listening" when you got to that part. Should you husband feel like you are listening to him if you are reading an old love letter after asking him a question? If I quote that acronym I would improve it on the ends. A prayer should start with who you are praying to. Jesus told us to pray to our Father, so we should start off with ,"My Father" or "Father". We should do everything in the name of Jesus so we should end by saying, "In the name of Jesus Christ.".
