Rule of Life Suggestions

These daily prayers and devotions will make us saints. They are:

  • The Morning Offering

    Immediately on arising, we should fall on our knees and make this offering, slowly and deliberately.

  • Morning Prayers

    Our Father, Hail Mary, Apostle’s Creed, Confiteor, Hail Holy Queen

  • Evening Prayers

    Same as morning, with an added short examination of conscience and a fervent Act of Contrition. These prayers must be said slowly, reverently, on our knees in our bedroom. In this room we spend a third part of our lives, and here we shall probably die. Therefore, it is well to sanctify it by our daily prayers.

  • The Rosary

    All good Christians say the Rosary daily.

  • The frequent repetition of the Holy Name

    This practice gradually fills our hearts with peace and happiness; it delivers us from many evils and obtains for us more graces in a single day than we may otherwise hope to receive in a whole year.

  • Devotion to the Sacred Heart

    Our Lord gave 12 special promises to everyone who practices this devotion.

  • Daily Mass and Communion

    Better than the most lengthy prayers and the severest penances.

  • A visit to the Blessed Sacrament

One more devotion I’d like to add to this list is:

  • Total Consecration to Mary
