As part of Fiat, we will each be taking one day a week to offer our sacrifices, works, and prayers as intercession for the wives within our group - and, for their intentions.
As we said in our meditation on "A Wife's Work: A Nest of Love", a Catholic spouses' work is sanctified by her love - and in turn - her love is sanctified by her work.
For your particular day of prayer and intercession, remember that you can offer a Rosary, a Chaplet of Divine Mercy, participation in Mass, or time in Adoration (Special Forces) - or, you can offer your day's work : the laundry, the vacuuming, the dishes, the dusting, and the cooking) as an equally acceptable sacrifice (sanctifying moments).
Because, as the Catechism of the Catholic Church states:
"And so, worshipping everywhere by their holy actions, the laity consecrate the world itself to God, everywhere offering worship by the holiness of their lives."
And, so, to do the housework with great love - and, out of reverence for Christ - the ordinary and mundane is transformed into the magnificent.
Here's our schedule:
Monday - Rosanne
Tuesday - Ashley
Wednesday - Anita
Thursday - Christy
Friday - Cathy
Saturday - Jackie
