Recently, I was given this book* from Franciscan Media and the timing couldn’t have been better. Recently, I have felt called to recommit to saying the daily Rosary and I have discovered 5 Practical Tips for making it a here-to-stay habit.
My Best Way to Pray
I tend to zone out a little watching the news and I absorb political news about as much as I retain medical details. Not very well.
I’m just not that opinionated. I have to push myself to be critical when writing book reviews and it takes me a little time to decide if I really like the movie I just saw..or maybe just the event of watching a movie in a big dark theatre and eating popcorn with quiet kids.

How on Earth can I have a personal relationship with God?
Recently, someone close to me asked “what is a personal relationship with Jesus?” after their first session of the Catholic Alpha course. I think it can be quite a foreign concept even if our practice of the Faith up to this point has been doing just what good Catholics do: going to Mass, saying the Rosary, frequent confession, daily prayer. I’m certainly no expert…I’m still learning even though I’ve been pursuing my personal relationship with Jesus for over 20 years!

Into the Arms of Mary
This is why I’m not going to use the Saint Generator this year.
Now is the time to figure out all those resolutions for the new year, right? As Catholics, our new Liturgical Year began with the first Sunday of Advent, but I don’t know, I still use January 1st as a new beginning. Rather than tackling 100 resolutions that will likely fizzle out by Epiphany, I’m trying to narrow in on a few practical and challenging-enough resolutions that I might be able to keep…and will help me pray, draw closer to Jesus, get healthier, better fulfil my vocation and enjoy 2017 to its fullest.
