and increase the amount of prayer time together as a family.
Praying with Bible verses from today’s Liturgy of the Hours:
Mid-morning reading (Terce) Isaiah 55:3 ©
Pay attention, come to me; listen, and your soul will live.
Noon reading (Sext) (Jeremiah 3:12,14) ©
Come back, says the Lord, and I will frown on you no more, since I am merciful and I shall not keep my resentment for ever. Come back, disloyal children, says the Lord.
Afternoon reading (None) James 1:27 ©
In the eyes of God our Father, pure unspoilt religion is this: coming to the help of orphans and widows when they need it, and keeping oneself uncontaminated by the world.
