These daily prayers and devotions will make us saints. They are:
- The Morning Offering
Immediately on arising, we should fall on our knees and make this offering, slowly and deliberately.
- Morning Prayers
Our Father, Hail Mary, Apostle’s Creed, Confiteor, Hail Holy Queen
- Evening Prayers
Same as morning, with an added short examination of conscience and a fervent Act of Contrition. These prayers must be said slowly, reverently, on our knees in our bedroom. In this room we spend a third part of our lives, and here we shall probably die. Therefore, it is well to sanctify it by our daily prayers.
- The Rosary
All good Christians say the Rosary daily.
- The frequent repetition of the Holy Name
This practice gradually fills our hearts with peace and happiness; it delivers us from many evils and obtains for us more graces in a single day than we may otherwise hope to receive in a whole year.
- Devotion to the Sacred Heart
Our Lord gave 12 special promises to everyone who practices this devotion.
- Daily Mass and Communion
Better than the most lengthy prayers and the severest penances.
- A visit to the Blessed Sacrament
-Taken from An Easy Way to Become a Saint by Fr. Paul O’Sullivan, O.P. pp. 56 – 62
One more devotion I’d like to add to this list is:
- Total Consecration to Mary
