Talking to God in the streets of Madrid

Cristina Rubio, lawyer and homemaker, Madrid, Spain

Every morning I have to think how I’m going to organize myself and when I’m going to pray, because it is from my relationship and my conversation with God that I can find the strength and joy to focus on what lies ahead of me.

 I have seen the reality of Saint Josemaria’s words: “Here is an effective custom for achieving presence of God: your first appointment every day should be with Jesus Christ.” 

Sometimes it’s difficult to find the time to do mental prayer.

When that happens I use the time I spend in the car. I listen to an audio-cassette of points for meditation from The Forge, and that helps me to concentrate, so that I can talk to God while I am driving through the streets of Madrid.
