My favorite prayer has to be the Chaplet of Divine Mercy. I like to pray at night, when the house is quiet.

My best prayer tip is: write it on your schedule! We all love to give ourselves excuses, etc. I think a schedule of prayer is important. The earliest Christians were on to something when they followed the set prayer times of the temple because it kept them on a schedule. I guess that is why the Catholic Church encourages even lay people to pray the Liturgy of the Hours - the same ideas of scheduled prayer. We need scheduling in our hectic day-to-day.

My favorite prayer time is while on a long drive alone or when I’m out walking.

I talk to God like he is a friend walking beside me...because I believe he is.

I like this pray too. The Divine Mercy.

When I am alone in quiet time. I love this pray in that precious moment. I transend from the natural into the Presence of our Lord. So very very special.

" Eternal Father, I offer you the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your Dearly Beloved Son, Our Lord, Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world."

Oh, to be able to share a beautiful time with our precious Savior.

"For the sake of His( Jesus) sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world."

Then to the Father thru the Son again in this manner.

"Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world."

Now after I said this 3 times once like required. I am not kidding I started to slowly but surely hear the hallellujahs continually in a soft beautiful manner from one direction. I thought I left the radio on in the room. I quickly looked. Well eventually I went to the whole house. No radio was playing in the house. This went on for about 2 minutes. The Lord I believe was showing the beautiful taste of Heaven that awaits us in his faith.

I say pray with meaning and as you go along the Holy Spirit will be along. Sometimes He will take over in a beautiful manner. Since reciting this prayer I have more Holy Revelation in my life than all the years prior. Its about 4 1/2 to maybe 5 years to almost daily pray. This prayer is truly anointed. Blessed be God!

Also thank you for such a post. So we could all share. May He always Bless you! Praise Jesus
