Lord, guide us in our prayer life. 🙏
Prayers for us all, our country and our world!
I was encouraged by the comment by St Theresa that when we give totally to God ,He can renew the wasted years. ( Not exactly how you said it, but that's how my heart received it. Happy Thanksgiving to you and Janelle and family 🦃🙏💝
St Teresa of Avila was so very wise, I think what stood out was don’t wait for your circumstance to be perfect for prayer, pray where you are! Thank you for sharing St Teresa with us!
Thanks for sharing. 👍
Very true. If we wait for the perfect timing prayer life will never develop. Constant little prayers during the day prepare us for that Holy Mass, Rosary, etc.
Jesus, have mercy on me, a sinner.
"If we take our faith casually, we can end up a casualty. St. Theresa says We must always press forward."
I am so thankful and grateful for your ministry and example as a beautiful Catholic Christ Centered Family of love.
It really is about our priorities and how we use our time. We need to start the day with prayer.
I enjoy both of your calm, peaceful voices. Thank you!
I loved the point you made about time. We all have the same amount! Such a simple concept, but so profound! It’s what we choose to do with that time that matters! I’m looking forward to praying with you and Janelle this advent season.
Thanks for listening. 😀
I agree, this resonated with me too. Looking forward to Advent and being led to keep my eyes fixed on Jesus.
Thank you Ken for making this video. Right now I am reading the book Interior Castles By St. Teresa of Avila. I have been listening to the Lord for years and it is St. Teresa who inspired me. I love her. I really love your contents. This is an affirmation of what I am doing. God bless! Fiat!
Wonderful!
What a perfect time to share this important message. We all get all stressed during these holidays and forget what is most important.
Thank you for sharing your passion for our Catholic faith with us. Look forward to more
Thanks for watching!
This was incredible brother. Thank you for sharing. It was a good reminder and it is great to hear these highlights from this wonderful saint.
Please pray for me this thanksgiving. These pass years have been difficult on me. I’ve been struggling to support my children. I keep faith and truly believe in God's promise trusting in his faithfulness. But at times it can be difficult. Especially as a single mother and having two children with autism. I’m overwhelmed. Lord give me strength as I struggle to support my children. But even as I struggle to pay rent and I struggle to buy groceries for my kids. I KEEP FAITH in you LORD. I’m so tired Lord! Please keep me encouraged!
Keeping you in prayer 🙏🏼
God bless you and your family..... I will pray he sends you what you need. ❤
🙏
Prayers for you and your family.
Prayers
This was excellent and I needed this very much! Yes, it seems the closer I get to God the more and more I see my sins and as I say when I go to confession, I'm a mess! And the mercy of God sustains me! Thank you, Ken!
👍
Praise the Lord God our Father. Lord show us your mercy and heal our ailments. Protect us against Corona virus pandemic. For our family and near and dear ones. For our spiritual and temporal wants. Little Flower of Jesus pray for us
I am still learning about St. Theresa of Avilla. Feels like I only know surface level about her. This video is so relatable and consoling (in a sense that I get confirmed I was wrong and idle). Thank you!!!
I enjoy your videos . They help me in my spiritual journey. Thanks for your commitment, time and love you give us thru your videos. May God bless your family.
“He can give more to one in half a year than another in many years.” This is so true, you find yourself persisting and praying but nothing happens. Those around you even though they’re not even trying they keep on getting blessed, but there will be that one period in time when God will say yes and you find yourself being ultimately blessed more than you would have ever imagined. I am the loving testimony of that phrase❤
I praise God everyday for all the blessings He has bestowed upon me😭
I thank God for reading this. Today I had that feeling, I felt stuck and like God has forgotten about me 😅. But I still trust in him and waiting in prayer for him
Our God never forgets us, His time to bless each and every one of us differs from our expectations. He loves us dearly and wants us to come closer to Him daily and to love one another. Above all, God wants us to live a blessed life and be with Him in heaven after life.
Most times we want monetary blessings which distract us from moving closer to Him. While we pray for financial help let us remember to be faithful in prayers and trusting Him completely and telling Him that we belong to Him, body, soul and mind.
God loves us very much am sure of it, any thing we suffer here is a drop in the ocean of the joys we will share in His presence at last.
Find a Catholic Church near you and try to attend Mass daily, it will help you so much like it is helping me and very Friday do the Stations of the Cross, it is a great prayer that draws one into the wounded Heart of Jesus!
Be strong, be faithful, be loving, you are not alone A loving God is with you!!!
Right on time! This is exactly what i needed to hear to push me further. Ive been very lazy. God be with you and your family. ❤
Thank you for this video, I am definetly lacking in my prayer life & have been looking to be "better" at it. This was alot of information, so I will have to rewatch it quite a few times. Thank you St. Theresa & thank you Ken.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for another heartwarming and enlightening thoughts. It’s true a lot of times my circumstances makes me pray less and give less time to God. I missed Sunday masses very often because of my work. I hope that I can make time to pray a meaningful and heartfelt prayers to God and I will not let my circumstances affect my Sunday mass. I should believe in His Divine providence as you do Ken. Thank you so much. I will pray for all of these. 🙏
Thank you so much for your videos and teachings. They are always timely and helpful. Love you guys! ❤🙏
I loved your comment:” we are one step away from “stupid”, my brother told me the same. God Bless You
👍
Thank you so much for your messages God bless
I love your videos so much!! You always give me so much to think about!! Thank you and God bless you and your wonderful family!!
YES THANK YOU GOD, FOR BLESSING ME MUCH MORE THAN I DESERVE.
This is excellent, Ken! Clarity in conforming to the will of God. It is obtainable! You and Janelle are wonderful and you bring to the message of our faith to all of us in an understanding and loving way . God bless your family. Happy Thanksgiving 🌿🌾🍂🍁
Thank you
May the peace of God be with you and your family always I so great ful for your teaching
I thank God I found you! Saint Teresa of Avila is one of my favorite things .. I love your teachings I need and want to grow closer to our Lord with your help I can do this✝️🙏🏼 Thank you so much
Thank you Ken. I pray for our Lady's humility and purity this Advent and Christmas. Jesus will be born in my life and others this Christmas morning. 🙏🏻
Please continue your mission. Important for us all. Thank you
This is a beautiful depiction of mental prayer! I asked myself how much more am I willing to do? That is a question all must ask !
Amen 🙏 Thank Y’all for what you do I love to hear more 🙏
Interesting report, thankyou. Wishing you & yours a Blessed ThanksGiving Day.
St Teresa of Avila pray for us
Thank you and GOD Bless you
USA 🇺🇲🇺🇲 November 23 2023 Thursday happy Thanksgiving 😀😀😀 family happy merry christmas 🌲🌲⛄⛄🌲🌲⛄⛄🌲🌲
I absolutely love your talks, they speak to me thank you for sharing your knowledge of the catholic faith. I am wanting to deepen my faith and everything I listen to of yours is so heartwarming thank you and God bless your family.
Thank you so much for this. You're absolutely 💯 correct in all your points. I will admit that I have lapsed from time to time in my prayers. I do have to be intentional and make it my priority to do my daily devotions. I was so glad to learn that God will lead up deeper in my prayers to help us to lead by him. This spoke to me in how my husband and I were lead to retreats that have improved our relationship together as a couple praying together, sharing reflection time and seeing and having a more intimate relationship with him. Thank you so much for your ministry and your beautiful wife. God bless you and your family.
So much to ponder. You have explained really well how to conform our will to that of God. ‘Your Will be done on earth as it is in Heaven’ is the key to progress in our spiritual life and be one with God.
Too, too right Ken. Absolutely! If things were different I would be deep in prayer. Oh, dear!
I like that...'one decision away from stupid'...I hear ya!!😊
God Bless You and Janelle I’m praying for you, and your ministry🙏
I so look forward to your videos, as through the Grace of God you’re reaching so many.
Thank you so much!

Very informative and helpful.
Thankyou for an informative and relaxing video.
I search in ways to serve our Lord but must be ready . Opportunity arises and hope im prepared to serve...prayer and reflection and all the Sacraments are powerful weapons. Praise the Lord Jesus Christ for giving us another chance to love a stranger. ❤
Thank you and may God Bless your works for His Glory! Pax. Steven. U.K.
Thank you for this video. I think I'll need to replay it a few times, in order to get the most I can from it. So gad you have spoken on this.
I am 73 and have some encroaching memory issues, and many of the resolutions made, arising from your talks, seem to disappear into a deep well of forgetfulness quite quickly.
I always find encouragement in your words, prayers and teachings, Ken and Janelle. I find myself becoming fearful and anxious when I try to understand and keep up with all the issues of dissent in our Catholic Church, but I feel a great trust in Catholic Minute and am comforted, in my confusion, by the faith, sincerity, truth, humility and love that radiates from the prayer videos, which I use daily to assist in my praying.
May God continue to bless you and your lovely family, and the Holy Spirit be your constant guide. Amen
Thank you!
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving here in the US. I am so grateful to you and Janelle. You are a gift to me. I love St. Teresa of Avila. God bless you and your family.
Thank you, Ken, for this lesson. It's just what I needed to hear!! God bless you and your beautiful family!
Such a beautiful addition to my knowledge and inspiration from St. Teresa! Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom!
God Bless you both for sharing your thoughts and experiences , you were chosen to bring hope to those who feel lost.
Love the explanation of the sower and the seeds. Very helpful for me. Thank you, and God bless you.
I am grateful & love you & Janelle ~ for all that you do, for all that you ARE ...GOD BLESS YOU BOTH & YOUR PRECIOUS FAMILY.....
🙏
Thank you so much for this video.. please remember us in your prayers that my family would advance in our prayer life and live a saintly life pleasing to God. Thank you

Thank you for what you do! Pressing forward! Blessings 💜🙏💜
I couldn't sleep last night so I was listening to the life of St. Teresa of Avilla because of a desire to seek and know God more...and then here I am and here she is today in your video. Great timing! Lol. What stood out to me was, dont wait for your circumstances to change.
I look forward to your advent series!

You spike on my favorite saint. Thanks.
Thank you for making this video for mental health that I have been struggling since 2006. Burnouts and psychosis reoccur. I am trying to be better on my communication with God, to know more about Him and my relationship to Mama Mary. I haven't read the Bible through completely only for the Gospel of the Day. 🙏
Very well spoken, and thank you for sharing your faith guidance with us. 🙏⚘️🙂
Outstanding! Thank you
Thank you, God bless you 🙏❤
You are so welcome
Ken, I feel "all in God's perfect timing.". You may feel your first videos were not that good as you look back in time, but they were what you had to give at that time in your life. Now when you look at your current videos, you see how you have grown in your faith and God has continued to grow you! God bless you both as you continue on this journey of faith. Thank tou for your time and videos.
Thankyou so much Ken I want to re watch this video to understand better her teachings of mental prayer. Thankyou also fir dedicating your lives fir us all!!😊
‘I’m always one decision away from stupid’….ohhh, that is spot on, need to print that on a tshirt for myself. 🙃
Great reflection on mental prayer, that was good Ken!
I’m ready Jesus, show me the way…🙋♀️
Blessings to you and your beautiful family this Thanksgiving
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
😀
Thank you for the teaching God bless you and your 7 kids. Happy Thanksgiving, I mean, thanksgiving that the food and life god-given us. That's my Thanksgiving. My Thanksgiving is waking up alive and with my family. My Thanksgiving is prayer. That's what Thanksgiving means to me. Thank you of God. God bless happy thanksgiving❤
Have you lived a pampered life or a penitent life? That is a convicting thought. This one was a real good video Ken. Great food for thought. I’m praying for you and your family.
Your video really made me think. I need to watch it several more times. Rest assured I will. Thank you
As someone discerning wether to join the Secular Order of Discalced Carmelites, I found this video enlightening, thanks.
Thanks for watching. God bless your discernment.
AMEN 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for sharing. Very much appreciated. I am an OCDS and it helps me alot.
Thank you 🙏 Surrender is so hard after decades of trying to control. It’s the only peace I find, tho, lol. Praying for His Will is such an unknown. Im pressing through 🙏
TY Ken. I liked how organized the 7 steps are. I recognized deficiencies in my life. I nodded my head, yes that's me & I was very encouraged by God "able" to infuse more grace if you put in the effort regardless of age. Specific, focused & encouraging! TY!!!
Your welcome. Thanks for sharing.
👑✝️🕊️
Ken you are the 2nd of 3 confirmations of how I should re-access my prayer life . The 3rd confirmation from God which I received was in person from the Keynote Speaker Dr. Elizabeth J. Kim PHD, who gave her miraculous testimony in person at the Annual MAGNIFICANT Ladies Catholic Brunch last Saturday in California.
I Absolutely 💕 love how GOD works through His Vessels in His faithful children to spread the Truth ❣️🥰
THANK YOU 🙏🏼
✝️❤️🔥🛐
Thank you for this video. It reminds me to keep pushing forward.
Thank you Ken, this was a great video to lead us into Advent. I'm looking forward to hearing your videos 5 days a week. What stood out to me 🤔 was that Pascale is a year and a half old already! 😳 Is he really?? Your children are so sweet. My 10yr old granddaughter loves when they pray her to sleep with either the Divine Mercy Chaplet or the Rosary. She has a tough time falling to sleep without them. Thank you, God bless you, your family and your community. I know you don't have Thanksgiving in Canada but you're always thankful, so Happy Thanksgiving! ❤🦃🙏😇🌎
Thank you!
You’ve encouraged me, as I was playing catch up.
Love your channel 🎉and your family TY
Hi.brod and Kristine pls.pray for me to overcome my weaknesses and temoration.God bless you and your family.
Ty Ken. I appreciate this reflection. ❤
Lord Jesus, You are the center of my life; I do so adore You...I trust You, I try to never make a decision without Your guidance. Thank you for the many blessings & grace You have given to me. Your Mother's presence, too, is a gift beyond description. I am grateful, O Holy One, I pray I express my gratitude through my everyday life; actions, mercy & love.
♡
Excellent video Ken.
Great graphics and you have highlighted some of the charm and simplicity that St Teresa of Avila approaches prayer life.
Deo gratias.

🙏
❤Thank you ❤😢🙏🙏
Thank you for this,
Great job thank you that helps I have read Saint Teresa of Avila‘s autobiography also the way of perfection and I’m working on the interior castle I’ve been trying to sit with God for at least an hour or more in the morning for years I listen I read I talk to him I imagine what he might say to me but I have not advance to anything much that I can see. But I might be judging it wrong I don’t know. I’m also going to adoration and then in the evening I pray for another hour. I talked to god so sincerely. But sometimes these methods they get in the wayFirst I have to consider something and then I’m supposed to have affections and then petitions and resolutions. I gotta say the real truth here is I just want to talk and listen and read and learn I don’t have to consider much about Jesus he’s sitting right there next to me so I get a little confused I bought a book called conversations with Christ. Now I feel like I’m studying so much I stopped just having a nice hour with God because I was afraid that the lack of advancement was due to the wrong method it’s causing me a lot of anxiety
