  23. At 3:00 in the afternoon (O Holy and Eternal God, in whom Mercy is endless and the treasury of Compassion inexhaustible, look kindly upon us and increase Your Mercy in us so that in difficult moments, we might not despair nor become despondent, but with increasing confidence, submit ourselves to Your Holy Will, which is Love and Mercy itself. Amen.)
  24. At the beginning of your work day/shift.

  25. When you hear of a death.

  26. When you are confused or have to make a difficult decision.

  27. When a relationship is in trouble or stressed.
  28. When you are having trouble falling asleep (Hail Mary, full of grace . . .)

  29. When you find yourself holding a grudge.
  30. Right now.

Lead me Lord by the light of truth; to seek and to find the narrow way.  Be my way, by my truth, be my life my Lord and lead me Lord today.

    Great reminders! And, a great way to “pray without ceasing.”

      Thank you Anni! I keep thinking of that question, “have you prayed about as much as you have talked about it?”!

      So true!! Remembering can be tough when we are “in the zone”.

    Maybe you can use Sara’s tips and make this into a handy-dandy printable?!?! (It’s a selfish suggestion.) 🙂

      You know what . . . I think I will! Might not happen until next week – but it’s a great suggestion!
