Beloved author Deacon Greg Kandra knows all too well what it is to be busy. Drawing from his own experience and those of fellow Catholics and the saints’ lives, Deacon Kandra helps us realize the importance of prayer and offers practical tips for making it a part of each day. Prayer includes regular participation in the sacraments (Mass, Confession) but is also about a constant communication with God and a way to plan our day each morning and evaluate our progress each evening. How is God showing us to spend our time? What can we do to be less busy and make room for God? This book answers these questions.

"This colllection in the concrete a methodology and even a theology of prayer. Priests and laity will profit enormously from reading it and reflecting on the theology and practicing the method and praying the prayers"....Andrew M. Greeley
