dUSt Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 With so many kids it's hard to say the rosary every day. In an effort to pray more as a family, we started a designated prayer time at 8:45pm every Mon-Fri. Each night we say one decade, so at the end of the week we've finished one rosary. It's starting small, and hardly takes any time (Mon and Fri have extra prayers). It's a start! It's also cool that I set the alarms to start playing chant when it's time to pray--so everybody in the house stops what they are doing and comes to the living room. Does anybody else have habits or tips on small stuff like this that you do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luigi Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 We always prayed the rosary after dinner, still sitting at the dining room table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatherineM Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Praying at the table works but I love the one decade idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
