Liturgy of Life Prayer Booklet

Genie — Tue, 15 Nov 2022 12:19:53 +0000

When you dive into liturgical living there are an overwhelming amount of ideas and suggestions for commemorating the multitude of feasts and fasts within the Church year. However, we are not only called to live our Catholic faith on days when there is a feast or fast, but each and every day. That is why in this collection you’ll find all the traditional prayers, hymns, and indulgences our family has used to build a Liturgy of Life. So that you too can have the foundation to live liturgically no matter what day it may be and build a habit of holiness in your home for every season.

We begin with the prayers that focus on the dedication of eace month and then add those for each day of the week. Like a Rule of Life for an individual, a family’s Liturgy of Life is the spiritual foundation for the day that all liturgical living can be built upon. We may not all live in a monastery or convent, but we can all follow the example of religious life in taking time throughout the day to recollect our family to God in the midst of our daily tasks. And the habit of a Liturgy of Life is a great tool we can use to do this. I pray that this Liturgy of Life is as much of a blessing for your family as it has been for ours.

“Prayer is an aspiration of the heart, it is a simple glance directed to heaven, it is a cry of gratitude and love in the midst of trail as well as joy; finally, it is something great, supernatural, which expands my soul and unites me to Jesus.” — St.Therese of Lisieux

Daily Dedication Prayers Booklet

Genie — Tue, 16 Nov 2021 19:21:46 +0000

The daily missal makes it easy to know what prayers are fitting for different feasts and commemorations. But, what is not so commonly recognized is that there are similar related prayers for ferias - those days of the liturgical year without any assigned memorial.

Like the months of the Catholic year, the days of the week traditionally have specific dedications as well. And we can look to these dedications as our spiritual focus and prayer inspiration for the day. Along with our family prayer for the monthly dedication and the cornerstone of the daily rosary, these daily dedication prayers are a simple way to add more prayer to your busy home and begin to form your family’s liturgy of life.

The Daily Dedication are:

The Trinity for Sunday
The Poor Souls for Monday
The Holy Angels & St. Anthony for Tuesday
St. Joseph for Wednesday
The Most Blessed Sacrament for Thursday
The Passion of Christ for Friday
The Blessed Virgin Mary for Saturday

We add these traditional responsories for the days and corresponding prayers as part of school days’ Morning Liturgy, however, they could just as easily be pinned to breakfast or read on the way to school.

Meal Time Prayers

“Now, we must help each other to get to Heaven.” - Bl. Karl of Austria The best place to start in this endeavor of striving for heaven, and doing so through liturgical living, is with prayer. This may sound daunting, especially if you have a lot of little ones, but it doesn’t have to be. The easiest way to begin a habit of prayer in your home is to pin it to something that has to happen everyday, like meals. Our family knows it can be easy to forget to stop and pray before we dig in, even with school ages kids to remind us. So, to help you get started and keep on track we have our _free_ Feast + Fast + Feria Meal Prayers Print Set. This downloadable 12 print set Includes the Traditional Catholic Blessing before Meals and Thanksgiving after Meals in both Latin and English, and our Icon inspired color way or black ink. I pray these little prayer reminders are a blessing to your family for years to come. Your family may also be blessed by our:
