This is the OLG blog for the One Book - One Parish Lenten reading program. As you read each week's suggested chapters in "My Life with the Saints" you will find reflection/discussion questions here. An integral part of a reading program is the discussion that grows from it. We look forward to your participation. "All of us are smarter than one of us." You can make this come true for our Lenten One Book - One Parish reading program.

3. Balancing activity with prayer is a constant challenge. Describe your habit of prayer. When and where do you like to pray?
My favorite place to pray is in church on Sunday morning before Mass. I mostly listen in silence then. I often wake up very early in the morning with my mind racing about things I need to take care of that day. So I have a habit of saying an Our Father, three Hail Marys and the Glory Be at that time. Sometimes I have to make myself do that. I sense God gently correcting me, asking me why I am worrying instead of trusting in him, and giving me peace.
