A Life-Changing Morning Ritual For Very Busy People
By Jack Rigert
So your busy. Ok, let’s get started on the 3-Step morning ritual for very busy people.
Step One: “Before” you look at your phone, except to turn off the alarm, roll onto your knees and proclaim your “Fiat” along with Our Blessed Mother, “Dear Lord, Let it be done unto me according to your word, according to your will” (cf. Luke 1:38).
Step Two: Make a commitment to use any temptation that comes your way for the rest of the day as an invitation to prayer. Don’t push down the temptation, don’t indulge it. Take it up in prayer and “open” it to God. Remember, temptation is not a sin, even Jesus was tempted by Satan. Unite your temptations with Jesus who didn’t come for sin management; He came with Power.
Step Three: “Act”, go out and Love the next person that you see.
Simple yes. But don’t allow simplicity to stop you from putting your whole day under God’s grace! This simple morning ritual is powerful:
In Step One: “Receive” Divine Life and Love, Grace.
In Step Two: “Be not afraid” to allow God to transform you on the battlefield of the heart where all transformation begins.
In Step Three: Go out and “Be” a visible sign of God’s love in the world.
