Keeping up the Prayer Life While Getting Immersed In School

Being young and jumping into new things just seems pretty natural.  The certainties of the past, however, - at least some of them - might have been left behind.  It could be that you are doing your own laundry.  At first freedom around meals might seem attractive, but there is a limit to junk food consumption. 

The rhythm of school also can be off-putting.  The more reason to get in a prayer groove.  You may have some traditional prayers you like.  The Rosary is especially good. 

Sometimes with the best of intentions fatigue and disorganization can take over a bit.  Could I recommend an app?  Why, I think I could.  I found an iPhone app called "Pray-as-you-go".  It is a daily reflection built around the readings and takes you on a bit of a guided meditation with more than enough freedom to reflect quietly and dispose yourself to the Lord.  The music is particularly relaxing and beautiful.  Well done.  Simple and inviting users to prayer and the fruitful reception of God's Word. 

So in the midst of the hurly-burly of school why not try it out.
