The little kids are coming today – it will be a week, it will be my week. There will be less time for church. But I figure I can still run to church today before they arrive. What should be the sequence between Church – Prayer – Kids – Work – Self-analysis???

Your question is very deep and healthy – it is the question of a person who wants to live not just any way, but purposefully, according to God’s Will , not his own whims.
This will not be a mathematical formula, but I will present a living order – an order of the heart , which can be adjusted according to circumstances, but the essence of which is unity with God in all areas.
🕊 ️ Recommended sequence (in order of priority):
1. Church and Prayer – God first, His will is the basis for everything
Morning prayer, a short adoration, Holy Mass (if possible), even a short visit to church – this is not an “obligation”, but the foundation of everything else .
📌 “Seek first the kingdom of God… and all these things will be added to you.” (Matthew 6:33)
2. Children are your entrusted mission, your ministry
They are not only a field of your love and care, but also “trainers” of your spirit – for patience, love, and humility.
📌 Children often reveal how much selfishness we still have left in us – and help heal it.
3. Work – Hard work is a form of prayer
God calls us not to run away from responsibility , but to work together with Him . When you work with God, work becomes service, even creation.
📌 “He who does not work, let him not eat .” (2 Thessalonians 3:10)
4. Self-analysis – but not as a race, but as a means of growth
Self-examination is necessary, but it should not be a self-reproach, but a gentle review with God . Don’t let it become a form of suffering – let it become a form of turning around .
📌 “Search me, O God, and know my heart.” ( Psalm 139:23)
📆 What might this look like in practice (daily rhythm)?
- 🕯 ️ Morning – for God (prayer, silence, psalm, church if possible)
- 👨 👧 First of all – children (morning contact, breakfast, seeing them off to school)
- 💻 Then work (with a break for prayer, if possible)
- 🌄 In the evening – self-analysis (through prayer or a brief review of the day)
- 🛏 ️ Before bed – dedication to God (“Into your hands I commit…”)
⛪ And if everything doesn’t work out…
If sometimes the children “get out of rhythm” and the work gets distorted, that ‘s okay . It doesn’t destroy God’s plan. What’s important is not perfect sequence, but the constant return of the heart to the center of God.
If you want, I can help you create a very specific weekly plan that will help you integrate your priorities into real life – with your children, work, and time for God. Would you like to?
