I’m currently in a season where prayer not only feels dry, but I feel repulsed by it. It takes a lot of effort to actually sit down and spend time with the Lord. Please pray for me that I can get through it and continue communing with God.
Main points: 1. Place yourself in the presence of God 2. Ask God for inspiration 3. Translate insights into works of heart (affections or resolutions) 4. Thank for graces received, ask for graces, tie into spiritual bouquet
I listened to the Introduction to the Devout Life on Hallow...It is magnificent. I then ordered the book and savor reading a little bit every day. It's hard to believe it was written in the early 1600s; it's completely timely and relevant.
Looking forward to the commentary on "Introduction to the Devout Life"! I've always been touched from the bits of it that I've read, but I've only read bits. Will be glad to hear the whole thing, and from Fr. Pine to boot. (And I'm sure Fr. Jacob is great too!)
“God is present everywhere...God is present in your own interior life by grace...the indwelling Holy Trinity...cling to the good things that God has done.” God bless, Fr. Gregory! 😄
@@rjskeptic5273 I am so happy to hear from you. “The organ of Orthodox epistemology is the purified nous.” That is to say, as Christ said, that the pure in heart will see God. Therefore, one must first purify oneself, then one is illuminated and may experience vision of God (theoria), and finally one is deified, wherein we become partakers of the divine nature. This is an empirical science, if you like, that we must experience for ourselves; therein lies your proof! God bless you😊
Thank you for this video Fr.Gregory! It was very helpful... you explained prayer in a very easy to understand way for the average person... I never understood what movements of the heart meant... now I know... I especially liked what you said about the spiritual bouquets that we can smell later and recall our experience! Thank you so much! 🙏🙏🙏
Father Gregory ,Excellent, thank you. I will follow this, by going ahead slowly , it will be very beneficial.. Ordering things helps to not be distracted or lose focus.
Nice!...thx Fr...looking forward to the new content. Many bad things on the internet thankfull for the nuggets that inspire and grow my catholic faith. Its not ez out there!
I don’t know if this is relevant, but after a long absence from the Church of my youth, taught by French nuns, I have returned to praying in French. It makes me feel more connected than in English, even though I have not spoken this language for many, many years. It just feels more natural? Jeanne ( retired RN)

Hi Father I wish there was a more practical approach like an example or a guided meditation through a Gospel. Just as an introduction to show people how this can be done.
Dia duit. Most Holy Trinity indwells and groans for us. Prayer is entering dialogue of The Trinity per Fr Folsom, OSB, on praying without ceasing. St de Sales admits he's derivative. Everyone has their fav charisms.Saying not all can meditate struck as odd but perhaps dealing with more illiterate his era. Still theres always art.

Will do. I know that it's a rotten feeling, there are times when I don't even want to look at the prayer corner I usually love so much.
Try to go to perpetual adoration for an hour everyday or thursdays just in silent without thinking anything just looking at HIM
Oh my brother, I will pray, I will try
I feel that way as well.
You dont need to sit down in order to pray. Who said that? 🥰😍😍😇 just BE present to whatever you do in a loving acceptance
St. Francis De Sales is my confirmation saint. I picked him because he’s the patron saint of the deaf.

Love this!! Simple and to the point ! I didn’t know that I had already been praying 😅. Thank you for this Fr Gregory.
I love gentle saints like St. Francis De Sales. Proof that being simple in prayer can bear many fruits and lead us closer to sainthood :)
Great video & insights, thank you Father Gregory! 🙏🏻
Thank you for your videos. I always enjoy your sense of humor as you explain the topic.
Fr GP,
Awesome, thank you. It feels like a lot to take in.
I will keep moving slowly.

"I thrill at the thought of you Lord" ♥️
God bless you, Father!

The things learnt in childhood run very deep and will spring back up given a chance.

I like this guy
Boom great 😊

I didn't know it was God's will whether He makes you a saint or not. I thought He wanted EVERYONE to become a saint.

DeSales university grad over here!
I wonder where that chapel is...
When is this series scheduled to begin?
How can the podcast be accessed?

God has never revealed anything to me.
St. Thomas Aquinas alright cheaters 😆😆
When Roman catholic Church promotes that personal relationship with Jesus is dangerous, how can anyone pray to Jesus Christ our saviour?
The Catholic Church does not promote the idea that a personal relationship with Jesus is dangerous.
You are mistaken. The CLOSEST personal relationship with Jesus is only possible in the Catholic Church.
@@tryingnottobeasmartass757 are you greater than your vicar of Christ?
