Journeying with the Saints is a podcast that picks a Saint for a year to walk with through their writings. Each week, there will be a short reading and then a reflection. This podcast helps to move through the writings of the Saints and understand how their wisdom applies to our lives today. Each Saint has a unique insight into living out the Catholic Faith well and a deep understanding of how to draw closer to Christ. This podcast offers a great opportunity to learn from them.
Welcome back, Catholic Pilgrims, to another day with St. Francis.
When I was working, I couldn’t even imagine a morning prayer routine. I was so busy getting ready, getting my girls ready for school and daycare, packing lunches, laying out something for dinner, and getting everyone out the door on time, that there was no way I could squeeze time in for prayer. Or so, I thought.
See, my idea of morning prayer time meant that I needed a solid hour of uninterrupted time and since I didn’t have that luxury, well, prayer time was just gonna have to take a back burner.
I think a lot of people think that if they don’t have loads of time for morning prayer then it’s not worth doing. That’s not true, though, and St. Francis has some thoughts on morning prayer.
Turn to Chapter 10 of the Second Part and let’s begin.
Fiction to anoint your imagination
About Chrism press
Chrism Press is an imprint of WhiteFire Publishing dedicated to stories informed by Catholic and Orthodox Christianity. These two ancient faiths share a sacramental and incarnational vision that illuminates the imagination, as well as a centuries-old literary tradition spanning from Dante to Dostoevsky and beyond. Whether Christian themes are presented overtly, subtly, or symbolically, Chrism Press offers Spirit-filled fiction in all genres. We are not afraid of darkness; we enjoy the strange and the weird, as well as humor, romance, adventure, and fun. We strongly believe that fiction should never be boring. We invite readers to “Anoint Your Imagination” with a wide array of stories that enlighten while they entertain.
