Apostleship of Prayer

In our frenetically busy world in which we are often fretting and worrying about so many things, it can be difficult to make prayer part of our lives.

This is where the Apostleship of Prayer is so useful.

We are given the tools to ‘pray without ceasing’.  Two simple exercises are recommended.  First thing in the morning when we awake from sleep, concentrate for a couple of seconds and say to the Lord: ‘Jesus I offer my day to you’ then get on with all that the day brings.

The Holy Father, Pope Benedict asks us to unite our prayer with the continuous celebration of the Sacrifice of the Mass around the world.  He also asks those of us who make this daily offering ‘Jesus I offer my day to you’ to unite it with his own prayer intentions which he proposes month by month for the good of humanity.
