Jessica (Ika) and I watched Mother Angelica Live this morning. We prayed the Office of Hours too. I was reminded how important it is to train her now to start her day, her meal, her night with prayer. We have started to pray for even the pizza boy who made our pizza and the farmer who raised the cow and pig when praying over our meals. When I say we, I really mean me. At this point, I lead most of our family prayers. I was blessed so much by EWTN today. It reminded me of how important it is to be careful of what we watch and what we listen to. Having the sounds of EWTN following me around the house directed my thoughts in a much holier direction. I found myself praying more and feeling more in touch with the Holy Spirit. When the cartoons came on, I looked through the DVR for a show; I ended up finishing an episode of Life On the Rock where they were interviewing a Catholic Musician. I was so blessed by his music. Here is the link to his site: http://brianflynnmusic.com/
I have his music playing over and over again on Chris's lap top. I do love my praise and worship music, but, as he said, there is something lacking. Also hearing songs about the Eucharist and the sanctity of life, renew my spirit and deepen my longing for communion-both spiritual and at Mass. We are so lucky to be born into the faith that we have. I want my life to be an example of all that Christ can do in a life.
Lord fill me with your Spirit. Make me a light unto the Nations! Change my heart, Lord. Take my Heart of stone and make it flow with Your Life!
