Original source: • Bishop Barron on Prayer - Розваги
Many times through the day I love to say these words "Jesus, my Jesus, my Jesus " it comforts me.
ST. TERESA OF LISIEUX: “I cannot bring myself to hunt through books for beautiful prayers. There are so many of them that I get a headache. Besides, each prayer seems lovelier than the next. I cannot possibly say them all and do not know which to choose. I behave like a child who cannot read: I tell God what I want and He always understands. For me, prayer is an upward leap of the heart, an untroubled glance towards heaven, a cry of gratitude and love which I utter from the depths of sorrow as well as from the heights of joy...”

Good morning Bishop Barron, and greetings from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺
I’d like to offer you my heartfelt thanks, and deep appreciation for your teachings in this dark world, where the truth is being constantly attacked, and when good priests are being cancelled for speaking the truth.
As your beloved saint St. Thomas More said on the scaffold. “I die the King’s good servant, but I die God’s first’
Please remember your little lambs must be fed.
May beautiful Jesus, and his most holy Mother, continue to bless you. ✝️
I often just chat with God … in my car, in waiting rooms, in Chapel before Mass especially and before confessions. Sometimes as I’m in the supermarket while I’m shopping, you can talk to Good anywhere, anytime and know he hears you. 🙏🙏🙏
When I was in kindergarten, the nuns defined praying as "talking to God with love" for the kids to understand what praying is. The definition was etched in my until in my senior years now.

He is the source of love and the creator and I devote my life to Him so prayer is speaking w God. Having prayer lists helpful He knows everyone in our heart. Keep them, protect them and bless them Father God in Jesus name Amen
Thank you Jesus, my healer
For hearing my prayer
And finding this broken vessel
Worthy of repair
It's my daily habit..conversing with God ❤😊🙏
Great 👏🏼👏🏼
I talk to him all day long like a friend just like you say. He told me that if I want to pray for someone else, I just need to think about them for a moment, and he does the rest. Pretty cool huh? I used to just get up and start talking to him out loud all day long just like you said. It's quite real. There is a pay off. People think it's crazy. My mom taught me to do that. My Father said he's been talking to me since I was 16 because I would talk out loud just like my Mom would do. It's all very real. The words of Christ are worth more than gold imho. Thank you so much!
Thank you dear Bishop Barron
ST. TERESA OF AVILA: “Don’t think that if you had a great deal of time you would spend more of it in prayer. Get rid of that idea! God gives more in a moment than in a long period of time, for His actions are not measured by time at all. Know that even when you are in the kitchen, our Lord is moving among the pots and pans!”
Excellent!
I find that I'm called to prayer in my heart. I could actually hear the call. There's really no clock to it.
Thank you for bringing Bishop Barron about this necessity of our lives!
God bless🕯🕯🕯🍃🌻
I am terrible at conversational prayer. I talk too much. Lol. It often breaks down into wandering thoughts.
I do use the Jesus prayer all the time. Bishop Barron said it perfect. It draws me back into silence and centers me. Among other things, it has had a profound effect on my patience with other people and general worry. Slower to anxiety and anger.

Amen Amén Amén y Gloria Dios 🕊️🕯️🙏
We must pray …God wants us to pray, because He wants us to acknowledge Him as the Father and He wants Him to ask us for what we want. And how we feel He is compassionate.🙏🇦🇺
Bishop Barron how you doing good to see you ⛪️😇🙏
I love to share my messiness with the Lord.
Me too ❤️
Pray like Jesus showed His disciples, to God.
People typically pray when they want something and are disappointed if they don't get what they pray for.
God gives us what we need not necessarily what we want. It's important to believe that God answers our prayers. One can't pray and then not believe that your prayers will be answered
James 1:5-7
Mattew 6:5 'And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. Truly I tell you, they already have their full reward.'
For the jesus prayer, look through Orthodox writings. They gave us that prayer, and are masters of it (I'm Catholic, but use it daily).
God bless
ST. MOTHER TERESA OF CALCUTTA: “We create all kinds of difficulties in our prayer. Let us go back to what Jesus has taught - the intimate and simple prayer: ‘Our Father...’ Even little children can pray this.”

Requests.

When I pray it doesn't seem like anyone is listening. It seems like I'm talking to myself.
Whenever I felt that way, like I was talking to myself, I would go to my computer and type out my heartfelt prayers and then press “send” which was really the delete button. That way I knew God heard and saw my crying out to him. Seems totally strange, but it was as a good way for me to pray and say, “There! It’s all yours God!”
God is always listening.
Father, can I do all these things while praying the rosary? Or do I just meditate on the mysteries? KATHY
Ideally, you would be meditating on the Mysteries, but people often pray it in their cars or while caring for their homes and babies or while taking a walk. Don't let the enemy discourage you from praying it all the time.
@@CIST3 thank you🙏
People are not animals. Animals do not have a soul.
I have been angry with God for a while and I’ve told him, I thought it was a sin
Oh please, any real catholic Jesus adherent knows that Bishop Barron has a difficult time reaching out to people and connecting. He's a typical preacher! Which is the exact problem with trying to express belief in faith. People think it's fake. They need things explained in such a way that speaks to their conscience.
I truly believe in prayer. I have fairies and little green leprechauns at the bottom of my garden and I pray to them everyday. I not convinced that this is working. My wife says pray to god - and I say - well it’s just the same prying to an invisible man made fantasy
It's too bad for you. God is real and my life is richer for it. You keep talking to your stupid little whatever. I pity your wife.
This guy is a dope
praying is begging....to an invisible man.....up in the sky. that no one has ever seen....might as well whistle dixie...
Well possibly. But what if. Just what if your creator is seeking you out. Longing for you. For your good. He leaves the 99 for the one who strays away always. Prayers and love to you.
Alex
Sorry you can not get past yourself enough to see the truth of the world
Don’t give up keep looking
@@rbtheriot my life is all about truth. Because my life is all about Him. I will be praying for you. Be well.
God is the only person who can fill the whole that man is created with inside. Many try to fill that longing with money, fame, power, sex, drugs or alcohol. None of those will satisfy the restless heart. Are you happy or hopeless?
Some of us beggars have had our tin 🍵 cups filled to overflowing!
