Over the last few years I have started keeping more the traditions of the church and am amazed at the effects it has on my spiritual life. I have long kept Sunday as a day of rest from sunset (or 5pm)on Saturday to sunset (or 5pm) on Sunday. We really do need a day of rest to recharge our batteries as our God clearly knew. I have also started a minor fast on Fridays - at my age I think a true fast would not be healthy for me, though I do keep it on Good Friday and Ash Wednesday.
We also light a candle as we pray at our prayer table before our evening meal and I try to have a candle in the church colours of the day. It seems to bring me so close to the Universal Church.
