As a mom, distractions during mental prayer and the family rosary can be a big struggle to overcome. It was really encouraging to hear even those in the religious life (and even Saints!) struggle with the same issues of distracting thoughts and dryness in their prayer life. Thinking about how God loves us and how He loved us first, as mentioned in this talk and in “The Handbook of Spiritual Perfection” (a book recommended in another talk on this channel) have been really helping me battle distractions during prayer. Thank you for this Sermon and UA-cam video. 🙏🏻
@@Guanajuatoeddie Thank you!…that’s one of my favorite topics to reflect on and also in one of my favorite scripture quotes! “Know you not that they that run in the race, all run indeed, but one receiveth the prize. So run that you may obtain.” 1 Corinthians 9:24
Thank you for this beautiful sermon. I've been relapsing to vices recently and I have come to the conclusion that none of those can really make me happy the way God makes me happy. Only in Him can peace be found.
Excellent sermon father when it comes to prayer I now realize more and more it’s not about feelings but rather in dryness and all distractions I have to persevere and endure in prayer in these times were actually closer to Jesus in the cross
I really needed this. I am dealing with many distractions and aridities. Jesus asleep at the helm and then waking to end the distractions and aridities is exactly what my soul needed to be exposed to. Perfect trust and timing all in the Lord. There is no reason fo fret and lose peace. Amen 🙏🏻
This was a great homily! Thank you! The whole time I was thinking: “Oh good! So it’s not just me!”

Keep praying and finish “the race”

What a Treasure of Directives for This Scourge (Distractions through prayer).
May GOD Pay You, Father Priest.
Count on my humble 3 Hail Marys for You.
Just what I needed to hear at just the right time. Praise be to God. Thank you.

Would you fix the audio? It works in the left but not right speaker/headphone
What if you are distracted externally by the devil during prayer. Should you wait before the distraction is finished. Or should you still go on
