Quiet Time is time you set aside to talk to Jesus. You need to take this time to rediscover who Jesus is for you.

To shut out distractions, find a place where nothing will disturb you... or attend an early morning Mass at your local Catholic Church. Here the surroundings invite you to pray.

It is necessary that one should have a silent corner in which to converse with God, as if nothing else existed...
(Edith Stein)

Jesus takes it for granted that prayer will be part of your life



Jesus does not say... If you pray
He says... When you pray

Set aside time each day to talk to God as though you had an appointment with Him.

At first your prayer time may be only a few minutes, but aim for 20 minutes a day. Have the same time each day, then you are less likely to miss a day. With determination, it becomes a good habit.

If you miss a day, don’t be discouraged

Start again the very next day. Soon you will experience:

• A sense of peace, an inner calm
• A power over things that pull you down
• A certainty that your past failures have been forgiven
• A joy in your heart that is independent of circumstances
• A new closeness to Jesus Christ

Although prayers or good works can never repay this great gift from God, a prayer of thanks for God’s daily care should be included in our daily conversations.
