There are a few habitual practices I incorporate into my prayer life, though. First, I always say “Good morning, Jesus.” I say it out loud and I write it down in my journal.

Every workday morning at 10 a.m., the whole staff of America Media comes together for a meeting called the “morning huddle” where a prayer, written by James Martin S.J., is read aloud.

If anyone asked me what was the one thing they could do to start off on a better path spiritually, I would recommend resolving to make a morning offering.
