My favorite morning routine 🤍

There’s something about starting the day in the quiet — before the emails, before the noise, before the rush.

Do you have a morning prayer routine?

Years ago I “took on” going to daily Mass. What started as a commitment slowly became a gift. Now it’s just part of who I am.

When you have access to your favorite person — Jesus Christ — how can I not come and praise Him?

It centers me.
It humbles me.
It reminds me whose I am before I remember what I have to do.

The world can wait.
First, I go to Him. 🙏

DYC is just ONE week away 🤍 swipe through and then join us each day on stories for the days Novena.

As we prepare our hearts for this incredible weekend, let’s begin praying this novena together.

“Rejoice in the Lord always. I shall say it again: rejoice!” – Philippians 4:4

Join us in asking the Holy Spirit to soften hearts, remove anxiety, and fill our teens with His peace and joy. Even if you can only offer a few quiet minutes each day, your prayers matter more than you know.

Let’s cover our students, leaders, and sponsors in prayer. 🙏

Come, Holy Spirit.
