October - Month of the Most Holy Rosary

One of the goals for this school year was to add prayer and NOT let it slip away after just a few days.  Thus far, we've been successful!    I've changed our original plan of 2 decades in the morn, 1 decade after lunch/dinner, and 2 decades before bedtime ... to ... 2 decades in the morn and 3 decades before bedtime.  This seems to fit our family better.  Evening has always been a set prayer time, so the decades were easier to add into the schedule at that time.  The new morning prayer time is certainly a LOT easier than mid-day, at least for our family.  Just seems like mid-day is the most hectic time of day:  two finishing up school, dinner prep & clean-up, a few afternoon chores, another finishing up school after lunch, etc.  Besides, maybe it was a bit much to add two new prayer times and expect all of us to 'take to it'!  I'm just thankful we finally seem to have found something that works.
