Establish Yourself in Attention Before God in the Morning

Strive to do this: in the morning, during your prayer rule, strive to establish yourself in attention before God so that afterward you might be before Him all day long, whatever you may have to do. If you arrange yourself thus and begin with the prophet to always set the Lord before me (Ps. 15:8)—with corresponding feelings, of course—then you will pray unceasingly. And then you will not find it tedious.

Do not leave your prayer rule until contrition is reborn in your heart together with dedication to God. You are a wife, a mother, a homemaker. The duties that pertain to this—these are your salvation.
