I'm just back from 7 days of silence and prayer. It's amazing how God can work through silence and generous prayer. I feel refreshed, full of hope and confirmed in my vocation.
Some have asked how my days were spent...
The day would be spent as follows:
The day would be spent as follows:
- Wake up - Pray part of the Divine Office (Prayer of the Church)
- Shower & Brekkie
- Meeting with Spiritual Director
- Prayer for 1 hour and 1 minute ;)
- Long Walk
- Another Prayer time for 1 hour and 1 minute
- Siesta
- Another Prayer time for 1 hour and 1 minute
- Run, push-ups and sit-ups
- Tea/Supper
- Last Prayer session (yes, you guessed it... 1 hour and 1 minute)
- Rosary and Sleep
I would spend the 1 hour and 1 minute worshipping God, praying for others and meditating on particular Scripture passages. After each prayer time I spend 5 minutes writing what God may have been saying during that time.

I try to do this daily. One hour and one minute of exclusive fellowship with God;)
Peace and love my friend in Christ, Susan
