Need a kick start to help you pray on a daily basis - Try Liturgy of the Hours

A common question that many of us have is how to pray and what to pray about.  We all have needs that we can share with God and we also have things that we should be grateful to God. These are two places to start with in daily prayer.   Another good way to get started is with the Liturgy of the Hours.  I've blogged about this in the past, but I just read a recent article that brought it to mind again.   The point hit home about the Liturgy of Hours is that its not about me, but it's for the Church and all her members.  See American Catholic blog on Bringing the Divine Office down to Earth.    If you have an iPhone or Android phones there are apps that you can download directly to your phone and have the Divine Office with you on your phone and you can access the prayer on the web at Univeralis.   If you are new to the Liturgy of the Hours the monthly subscription of the Magnificat is a great way to get started.  It has an abbreviated version of the Liturgy of the Hours with morning, evening, and night prayers, plus all the daily readings and a reflection.  If you are a subscriber there is an app for the iPhone and you can also access it through web as well. 

I pray daily the Morning & Evening prayer, and most days pray the Office of Hours. I also try to get Daytime prayer in mid-day or afternoon and close with Night Prayer.  Night Prayer is a good time to do a daily examination of conscience.   I hope this gives you a place to add to or start with your daily prayers.  May God bless you.
