Praying with Scripture was the topic offered to the St. Julie's Ladies Guild in Dartmouth MA on March 13. The meeting of over 50 ladies appreciated Sister Marla Marie's presentation on how to pray with God's Word. The women were introduced to Lectio Divina and tips on including scripture in their daily prayer.
On Monday, March 11, Mother Marla Marie facilitated a morning of recollection for the ladies of St. Ann’s Maronite Church in Watervliet, New York. The theme was
Family
Prayer. Sister Marla Marie walked the ladies through the importance of prayer in general, but then its significance in the family home, which is the “domestic Church.” Sister Marla Marie emphasized that prayer must start in the home. She recommended helpful tips such as declaring meal times a “no-phone zone”; setting up parameters and expectations for “family time” and being faithful to it; reviewing the Sunday Gospel; the rosary and other prayers.
