\nWhat is extraordinary in your life these days? What are the ordinary tasks you must keep up with in order to facilitate enjoyment of the extraordinary? Are there any ordinary tasks which allow you to connect with God through prayer during the task\u2019s completion?<\/p>\n
\nPrayer for the day:<\/span><\/strong><\/span>
\nWise God, who knit us together in our mother\u2019s womb, focus our minds so that we are aware of the ordinary and extraordinary moments in life. In the name of Jesus we pray, amen.<\/p>\n
