Themed Resolutions

This year, I have several resolutions, all with a similar theme.

1: Pray more slowly, especially the Rosary and the
Chaplet of Mercy.

2: Practice Lectio Divina, using a passage, or
a portion of a passage, from that day's Mass
readings.  Read the passage slowly, and then choose
a small, a very small, part of that passage and
"feed on it" for the rest of the day.
(It would probably be best to do this in the
morning)

3: Read EVERYTHING more slowly, and perhaps,
sometimes, even practice super-slow reading.

4: Eat and drink more slowly.  I don't gulp,
but I still want to slow down in this department.

So is the theme of these resolutions slowness?
No.  The theme of these resolutions is savoring.

Encouraging news about EWTN's Fr. Anthony

Fr. Anthony hopes to be back on the air in the near future.  Oh, HOW I'm praying for that to happen! https://franciscanmissionaries.c...
