Today, in part two of a special two-part interview Dan speaks with Fr. Jacques Philippe about establishing a successful prayer life and entering into contemplation.
Topics/Questions covered in the show:
What are a few of the most common pitfalls or difficulties that lay people experience in prayer and how can they be avoided? Poverty and humility in prayer is most affective in building a strong prayer life. A successful prayer life takes time, commitment and determination. If my life is very busy, how much time should I devote to prayer daily? Should we allow ourselves be discouraged if we fail in our attempt to establish a prayer routine? If we feel that God is trying to speak through our religious studies, how should we respond?Resources:
