Prayer and Life


For most of us, as we live our busy lives, prayer can only take up a small part of the day. What we need is prayer that is rooted in our daily living, and a life that flows from prayer: living prayer.

By making the Daily Offering with sincerity and love at the beginning of the day, you can make all your activities - whether in the home or in the office, on the farm or at school - into a kind of prayer.

in Daily Offering, you express your wish that all the activities of the day be lived out in a spirit of loving service. It is often a good idea at the end of the day to look back briefly to see if, in act, you did live it in that spirit. To the extent that you did, thank God for it; wherever you failed, ask God's help to do better tomorrow.
