Hi Everyone!
I’d like to know what you guys think. Earlier this year, I re-dedicated myself to having a life of prayer, and I decided to try and and give
thanks to every good thing that I have and every good thing that has been given to me. I current read/meditate on morning, evening and night
prayers as found in Magnificat magazine; I try and say my rosary daily, and a new thing for me is to give thanks to God before every meal.
Here’s the question: Is it ok for me to not cross myself prior to saying the Prayer over Meals, especially in public? I eat out a lot, and
at work, I tend to bring my lunch and eat it in there. I started out crossing myself prior to my meals, but lately, I’ve either stopped doing
it, or do it as fast and as small as I can. The main reason why this sudden self-conciousness is that I really, really don’t want to attract any attention to myself. I want to keep my prayer life out of the
public eye as much as I can. I still say my meal prayer, but I’ve cut out the crossing. (At home, I really don’t have this problem.) Is this a
lack of faith? or a lack of confidence?
Thanks for any comments, answers or advise.
God Bless!
