What if the ordinary tasks you do every day could become moments of prayer?

In this episode of Spiritual Practices for the Soul, I share a transformative experience from my time at Iona Abbey, where something as simple as cleaning sinks and mirrors completely changed the way I viewed the daily chores waiting for me at home. I discovered that tending to our homes isn’t separate from our spiritual lives ~ it can become an extension of our prayer, inviting God’s presence into the ordinary rhythms of each day.

Together, we’ll explore how shifting our perspective can transform feelings of overwhelm, guilt, or frustration into opportunities for gratitude, peace, and deeper connection with God. Drawing from monastic traditions, Celtic prayers, and my own journey, I’ll offer simple ways to turn everyday tasks into meaningful spiritual practices that nourish both your home and your soul.

“God’s presence went with me into the rest of my day.”

If you’ve ever felt weighed down by the endless cycle of household chores, I hope this episode encourages you to see them with fresh eyes ~ not as interruptions to your spiritual life, but as invitations to encounter God in the beautiful mess of everyday living.
