How's Your Prayer Life? with Jessica Benfield
Jessica Benfield joins host Allison Gingras for an honest conversation about what happens when prayer has to adapt to real life. From new puppies and disrupted routines to journaling, the rosary, and a growing devotion to Mary, this episode is about building a prayer life that holds up inside ordinary days. They discuss why prayer can feel inconsistent without being broken, how small pivots can restore a routine, and why family prayer matters even when it is imperfect. In this episode Jessica shares how two new puppies upended her morning routine and changed when and how she prays. She explains how praying the Rosary outdoors became a joyful new habit. How does prayer naturally ebb and flow with family life and daily demands? Jessica discusses her growing devotion to Mary and how a 54-day rosary novena changed her view of the Rosary. She reflects on prayer as a source of peace, calm, and recentering in everyday life. Jessica Benfield is the founder and publisher of Rooted, a fun monthly magazine for Catholic kids!
