It's Friday and even though it isn't Lent any longer, I thought about
some of the prayers I save especially for my Fridays. At the 3:00 hour,
I pray the Divine Mercy prayer and if time permits, the chaplet that
goes with it. Recently, my mother, who is in the hospital at this
moment, had a very bad night and being 10 hours away, there was little I
could do, but pray. It was 1:30 am when I got the call from my
sister-in-law that mom had gone into emergency surgery. Obviously, I
was totally unable to calm down, much less sleep, so I prayed. At 3:00
am still awake and waiting, I prayed the Divine Mercy Chaplet for my
mom, within a few minutes my brother texted me that mom did very well in
surgery and was in recovery. During the past 2 weeks, when I get
overwhelmed with worry, I cry myself a river, then settle into
prayer....peace comes over me and there is calm. Later, I told my mom that I had prayed the Divine Mercy chaplet for her during her surgery. She was so pleased and told me it was her favorite prayer devotion, I said, "yeah mom! You taught it to me!
What prayers
do you use most often? Please share!
