Title: How much do you pray a day?
Post by: xavierpope on March 19, 2018, 08:17:14 PM

Hi all,

I'm just wondering how much you pray a day? Two years ago I started doing the 5 decade rosary (thinking this fulfils my daily rosary) then I found out that 15 decades = one rosary. 

So I've started praying the full rosary, and an extra decade for the holy souls in purgatory

I'm just wondering what other catholics do on a daily basis. I understand its different for everyone because of work/families.

But how often do you pray?

Formal prayer? 15 decades of the rosary is my goal, along with compline. There is a website divinum officium. Informally  - I talk to God all day long.

My Husband and I say the office together before breakfast, pray before meals of course, afternoon pray the office together, after dinner read the saint of the day (for the morrow) then 5 decades of the Rosary, then later I say another 5 decades alone. Apart from that, like Marlelar, I talk to God all day long, well mostly.

I have to pray all the time bc I have a lot of evil people.. hanging around. Some people just hate that you aren't evil like them.. gues it makes them feel guilty

Except that there are only 15.

Why should that stop me from praying 20?
