The following is a simple guide to our prayer and reflection manual. In order to pray this small manual, you will need a Bible handy, these reflections, and a willing and open heart to reflect and meditate on the Word of God.

Begin with the following:
1. - Prayer of Offering: OPENING PRAYER.
2. - A careful reading of the scripture texts from your own Bible as guided by references indicated on the top portion of each page.
3. - A reading of the reflection offered for each day on the scripture reading.
4. - A few moments of silent time for reflection and meditation for each one of the participants.
5. - If A Few Minutes of Prayer in the Home is prayed in groups, everyone will be enriched by one another’s reflections.
6. - A reading of the PSALM prayer found at the bottom of each day's reflection with a few moments of silence for integration of the psalm.
7. - The last step is to turn to the Prayers of Petitions and communal prayers to bring to conclusion our daily time of formal prayer with God.
