Home Consecration. The Way to Peace & Purpose

Do You Ever Feel Your Mornings are Hectic and Pure Chaos?

We all know that jarring feeling of waking up to the alarm clock— why does the best sleep always seem to happen just two minutes before it goes off? As we rush to catch up with the demands of the day, PAUSE.


May I suggest a change?



Foster a Sense of Peace & Purpose in 5 Minutes

Start your day 5 minutes earlier... with prayer


Transform that chaotic start into a peaceful one! Before diving into the day’s whirlwind, I invite you to start just five minutes of prayer. Jesus longs to be close to us every moment. Why not sit quietly before the Sacred Heart of Jesus and express your thoughts and requests?


Take a moment to thank Jesus for your home, food, and health that you and your family have. Don't hesitate to share your needs; Jesus wants you to come to Him openly. Remember, He will respond in one of three ways: yes, no, or not now.

Ask Him for the patience and courage you’ll need to face the trials ahead.


Begin with Prayer


Recognizing that everything you have comes from Him fosters a sense of humility. Setting aside pride and acknowledging Jesus and His Father as the source of your talents is a beautiful act of faith. When you embrace this understanding, you open your heart to the many blessings in your life, which is a truly enriching experience.


Embrace Humility

 

We honor Jesus when we acknowledge that everything you have comes from Him. Set aside your pride and acknowledge Jesus and His Father as the source of your talents - a beautiful act of faith indeed. When you embrace this understanding, you foster a humble heart and open yourself to the many blessings in your life. And my friend, that is a very good thing.


Make Him Part of Your Home

The Lord Jesus wants to be a part of your family.  His presence is felt in the room we pass or sit in daily. Before rushing out, I like to touch His Sacred Heart and just say, “Thank you.” This simple gesture sets a joyful, positive tone for my day.

Now I genuinely enjoy the quiet time with Him in the morning. After my initial gratitude, I turn to my email and begin to pray for all those who have asked me to pray for them. This practice of intercessory prayer is powerful. It connects you with those who need support, and those who ask for prayers genuinely appreciate your effort so much. If you go to arrowjohnpaul13@gmail.com, you will find the prayer requests from people next door to you and around the world—and you can ask Arrow to post your own prayer intentions!

Don’t Wait—Start Now!


I challenge you:  instead of saying, “I’ll do it later,” embrace this spiritual practice today!  Awaken each morning with intention, gratitude, and the warmth of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. You’ll find that a few quiet moments in His presence will set the tone for a day filled with grace, peace and purpose.

On August 30, 2001, Holy Family Regional School (HFRS) opened its doors, breathing new life into the historic St. Andrews grade school—once attended by Madonna herself. This marked the beginning of a new chapter, as HFRS embraced a regional format that united St. Andrews, St. Irenaeus, and, later, St. Mary of the Hills. With 128 eager students enrolled, parents rejoiced at the return of a Catholic school to Rochester, ready to nurture both faith and education.

“Yesterday, I caught my husband sitting in the family room, praying to her,” Mona told Detroit Catholic. “I haven’t spotted the kids praying to her yet — they are in and out of the house all the time — but they do see her. She is in the family room, so you walk in and see her. If you walk through the hallway, you see her. Her presence is all around us, and she is watching us.”
