| Praise in the Car. A new practice this season from Ablaze Family Ministries: Long commute to work or quick run to the grocery store? Try dedicating your time in the car to praise! Maybe you only listen to prayerful music or just take the ride in silent prayer. You’re going to be stuck in the car anyway, may as well use this time to rest your heart on God’s heart. | First Saturday Devotion. First Saturdays begin with the 8:15am Mass at Queen of the Rosary Church, followed by Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament and the First Saturday Rosary. Then stay to keep our Blessed Mother and her Son, Our Lord, company. Not sure what to do during Adoration? Meditate on the mysteries of the Rosary, read scripture or simply sit quietly and listen for how our Lord is calling you. The next First Saturday is this Saturday, July 1st. | |

We'd love to hear from you...if you incorporate a Prayer and Devotional resource or idea into your faith life, tell us about it!
Does it deepen your relationship with God? Does it change your outlook? Are you doing something you'd like to share with the Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament faith community?
