Lisa Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 To proudly show others the source of my joy, hope, love, and strength. God is SOOOOO good And not really a resolution, but I've signed up for a Holy Hour of Adoration on Thursdays- I think this will be the best thing of the New Year- and no class getting in the way!

vee Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 To say as many hour of the Divine Office a day as I can. I used to say most of them but recently Ive said none. To pray more, or rather to get back on track praying. I know what Im supposed to be doing and Im not doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pax_et bonum Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 [quote name='vee8' timestamp='1293941293' post='2195857'] To say as many hour of the Divine Office a day as I can.

[/quote] That is mine as well except I pray the Little Office of the BVM. I used to say as many as I could, then went to two, then I stopped.

stlmom Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 To continue sending $ to the Mater Ecclesiae Fund to help candidates for religious life eradicate their school debts, has not been easy to do this in a down economy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piccoli Fiori JMJ Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 1. Try not to sleep so much... 2. Try to get up everyday by at least 7:30 (although most days I am up at 5:30) 3. Actually read the Bible and the CCC in a year 4. Stop being lazy about EVERYTHING. Spiritual, physical, familial... 5. Get myself/my life in order. 6. Repay the $300 I borrowed for a flight to the Eucharistic Congess last year. 7. Pay off my student loans! 8. Help my parents pay some bills and help with their debt (They took most of the grunt with my student loans... ) Perhaps my goals/resolutions are a little vague at this point. There is a lot I need to work on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starets Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Be more faithful and diligent to my private prayer and lectio life. To that end, I have put together a spreadsheet that lists which prayers I want to say during the day. I must admit that it is helping me be more diligent.
