Saints: Get to know a new saint each day through a Saint of the Day email or check the Vatican site. (There are other organizations that will also send you information.) If you want to know more about a particular saint, do an online search, which could start here. Is there a saint with your name? What saints have your birthday as their feast day?
Lectio Divina: This is Latin for “divine reading,” and is one method of prayer and reflection on Scripture that dates back to the early church fathers. It involves four steps: (1) listening to God's word by reading a short passage and listening for a word or phrase that speaks to you; (2) reflecting and pondering the word or phrase - what does it mean or what memories/feelings does it evoke? (3) praying or speaking with God about the word or phrase; (4) resting in God's presence. Learn more here.
Centering Prayer: This is a type of silent prayer and meditation, meant to help us less talking and more listening in prayer. Learn more here.
Mass readings: The readings for the day can be found here, along with short video reflections for each day.
Sunday reflections: Several organizations routinely provide free reflections on the Sunday readings. Along with the videos from St. Michael Masses, you might want to check one of these out: Word on Fire (Bishop Barron) or U.S. Bishops Conference.
Rosary: Find directions here or follow along with an online one.
Divine Mercy Chaplet: Find directions here or follow along with an online one.
