    When I go to adore Jesus in the Eucharist, I imagine that He greets me with an embrace as the father of the prodigal son. As him too, I ask for forgiveness . I feel loved and this help me to have a “good time” with Him.

    I didn't realize that I use mental prayer when I say the rosary sometimes. It doesn't always happen, but it is very potent when I immerse my thoughts in the decades of the rosary. Thank you for going over the details of mental prayer.

    I can get so easily distracted sometimes!
    I do agree that morning is the best time for prayer, atleast for me, if I don’t pray first thing, I find my whole day is topsy turvy & I’m unsettled & all over the place.
    “When prayer precedes business, sin will find no entrance into the soul” WOW! LOVE THIS!!!
    Thank you 🙏

    Thank you both for your beautiful reflections during this Advent season. Janelle you have an Angelic voice. Ken you have a peaceful voice. Janelle have you ever considered making a recording of some hymns that you like. Would be a wonderful way to meditate when I am on my walk and mentally praying to God our Savior. Thank you for you ministry.

    Prayer before business ❤️‍🔥
    I like to pray first thing in the morning,full rosary. This means wakiing up 5-6am but it builds an armour for the rest of the day.
    God bless

    I do what you do, but never really thought of it as mental prayer. I am constantly noticing things around me and turning my thoughts to the heavens. This has made me think of things that I used to do and have gotten away from also, like journaling…for me that was always a form of prayer and praise, speaking with God through pen and paper. Thank you!

    Just before I listened to you I had just returned to my car from Mass and then Adoration. I saw a beautiful tree and admired the rich colors of the leaves. I thought of my family and wanted to share Gods beauty so I took a picture. An older man on a bike appeared in my pic. Still so beautiful! The beauty that God has given us here!

    Saint in the making Soul Brother Ken; The first thing in the morning I do when I open my eyes is I thank GOD, JESUS, and the HOLY SPIRIT for the gift of another day, for the gift of life, and for the gift of my health. Then In startup my lap-top and go to adoration for an hour. That is how I like to start my day, but I do have difficulty to quiet my mind. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    This is so difficult. I struggle playing pretend or making up stories for my daughters I don’t know how I’ll ever be able to succeed at mental prayer. I haven’t used my imagination in decades.

      I'm sorry you are struggling. In this life there are many trials. Scripture speaks of the narrow road that leads to heaven. I think that is so because we fail to look at the blessings of life. Whatever we choose to focus on is what becomes bigger in our lives. I speak from experience that it's easy to focus on the negative instead of the blessings. The very fact that we have breath in us is a blessing. The sun light Ken spoke of and so much in nature.
      I pray you'll find even one thing that is a positive and give thanks for that. I'll be praying for you Mike. I know life is hard but this one is so short. It's the next one that last forever. Christian love to you🙏💕💝

    I LOVE to drive across the country and see GODS GOODNESS in the different landscapes across the country. I remember driving into fog and not being able to see and I was awaiting for the fog to break so that I could see the light, the fog broke and it was so beautiful (sun, blue skies, etc). Thank GOD for everything because the light and love of GOD is in every moment, I wouldnt have enjoyed the sunlight as much if I had not been in the fog.

    In mental prayer you can imagine good times also, today in the Luminous mystery, I imagine that I'm at the wedding feast at Cana, where Jesus shows us his glory in the service of life at a celebration of joy and happiness.

    Finding God in everything. "Lord, your beauty is greater than this."
    This made me think about working in an office. Sometimes you're in a situation where you're at a desk from 9-5, but you decorate your office with photos of your family, maybe some art work that you love. You surround yourself with beautiful things to remind yourself of God's beauty.

    I do not sing well, sometimes I even hurt my own ears. However, I sing praises to God when I am on my own in my car. Only me and God can hear it. It was a morning thing for me everyday when I was going to work; now it is more occasional, but still happens as often as I can manage it.
