Speaking of devotions, Saturday is once again the First Saturday.  

I was told by a priest that once you perform the initial five consecutive Saturdays, one is not required to always do this devotion in increments of five consecutive Saturdays.   Hence, you can preform it sporadically and still receive additional graces.  I've never seen this written anywhere in the literature and was wondering if this is true.

I'd like to hear what others pray lives are like.

As I throw my legs over the edge of the bed I say, Everything I do and everything I say, I offer to You, dear Lord. Please help me by your grace.

Then I go to the loungeroom where my dear husband waits patiently for me to join him in saying Morning Prayer from the Daily Office, at the end of which I add the "Prayer to the Virgin" (remedy against the spirits of darkness and the forces of hate and fear) indulgenced by Pius X.

Of course don't forget Grace before Meals! :ready-to-eat:

Around 3.30pm we say Evening Prayer from the Daily Office together.

Each night we say the Holy Rosary, followed of course by the Prayer to St Michael.

Then before I go to bed, I pray Night Prayer from the Daily Office. As I lay my head on the pillow I say the Memorare, then I think to myself. Oops! that was a bit slack. I'd better say that again with more devotion.

If, for some pressing reason, I have to get up at an extraordinarily early time, I ask my Guardian Angel to wake me; he has never failed! Though I must say I tend to take him for granted, shame on me.

Of course, scripture tells us that we must pray always, and this can be achieved in quiet conditions with as little as possible external noise. I am blessed in that way. For some quiet conditions are not available, then we offer God  whatever the day brings us and asking Him to use it for His glory.
