Since my Ignatian retreat is finished, my goal with these devotions is to help busy people, especially moms like me, see that prayer is not just for a designated 45 minute-1 hour block of time in the morning, but is rather an all day exercise. I’m challenging myself to read the expanded verses and then meditate on it throughout my day. At bedtime I sit and journal about how I noticed the scripture spoke to me and informed my day. For Gospel stories, I don’t just meditate on the Scripture, I request that God places me as some character in the story, so that I might experience it for myself.
