No matter how busy you are, you could spend five minutes:

To answer the telephone

To read the morning paper

To talk with a neighbor

To dispute with the laundryman about a mistake

To watch new furniture being unloaded next door

To chat with a salesman

To read a trivial letter

Or to write one

It takes only five minutes:

To say a prayer for the suffering friend

To stop and think of God's daily gift of mercy

To remember the cross

To make an act of faith, hope and love

To whisper an "our Father" or "Hail Mary" for someone in need

To say a decade of the Rosary for the pour souls

To vist the little statue or picture on the mantle place and tell the Savior how much you love him

To make a spiritual communion

Which is the better way to spend five minutes?
