The Seven Prayer Dispositions are all vital parts of healthy prayer.

We are all called to pray every day! We find our most meaningful approach to prayer affected by our different temperament and gifts, how our Faith has been modelled for us and how much we lean on it in our every day life. We find that our own prayer habits and our favorite go-to prayers are different from those around us, but we can deepen our prayer and intimacy with Jesus by practicing prayer dispositions that vary from our own.

My Mom is an Intern in Heaven

June 4, 2026 by Monica McConkey Leave a Comment

For as long as I can remember, my Mom had a strong devotion to St. Anthony and relied on him to help her find anything that was lost. She would pray in thanksgiving and then drop some cash in the St Vincent de Paul box. As she got older, her dialogue with St. Anthony became more frequent. She was even a little embarrassed by how much she relied on St. Anthony. We teased her that St. Anthony was up there asking the other saints “can someone else take this? It’s Teresa, again”.

What are the things that you do every day? Maybe your day starts with an alarm, the call from a child, or the bark of your dog needing to go outside. Do you stretch or exercise?

Do you walk into the kitchen and start the coffee maker?
Do you check your phone for messages…first thing?
