In the Women of Grace study, Dale O'Leary writes regarding women who are overworked, stressed, tired and feel they are too busy to pray:
"God can multiply time, just as He multiplied the loaves and the fishes. Humanly speaking, we are each given the same twenty-four hours and seven days each week - but God holds each moment in His hands, He takes the time we give Him [in prayer], and gives back tenfold. When we put God first, everything else will fall into place."
Beautiful!
A beautiful, living example of the power of prayer and especially daily Mass is St. Jude mom, Jennifer Kilmer. Jennifer is mother to eleven! children under the age of 12. The Kilmer family has been featured in the Washington Post and on Good Morning America. The cameras follow Jennifer as she walks out her back door to St. Judes for 6:30am Mass.
When asked how she manages such a large family and schedule Jennifer says "I give my day to God." When asked whether she ever wants time alone to herself, Jennifer says "God has given me this family and that is me."
Beautiful! God bless Jennifer and all of the Kilmers!
