Thank you, Brent. This is a great way of praying, makes it less “automatic”.This way our prayer seems to come from our hearts.
Sometimes when I am too tired to pray the Rosary at night I make my own “chaplets” (using my fingers to count). For example:”Lord,help this person” or just “I love you,Lord” or…whatever the need is for. It calms the mind so much, too.

Thank you for your meditation thoughts – it really is so much better to actually include specific people and their unique needs instead of the general “help all those who need your help” which we are accustomed to doing.
It was wonderful to be with you both and with so many of the extended family these past two weeks. God bless you always…

Great advice Brent! This is something I was taught in Religious Ed. many years ago and have forgotten.

Another good trick to do if you run out of specific people is to pray for specific groups of people. For example, “Dear God, please give strength to our troops abroad” or “please heal those suffering from heart conditions.”
