Liturgy of the Hours -- for mamas

When I was working at the parish, I made it a priority to arrive before work in time to attend daily Mass and Morning Prayer from the Liturgy of the Hours (or Divine Office), the Church's prayer throughout the day.  I am remiss in keeping up with this habitual prayer, but today I ran across this piece by Catholic wife, mother, and author Danielle Bean.  It really speaks to me at this particular juncture.

I pray for the grace to be present at every moment of every day, to recognize the presence of Christ in my beloved and my children, and the fleeting time we have in this tender season together.
