I am still fooling about with utube. It is fun now that I have more nor less finished the work on the house, Anyway it was a fun way to spend a Sunday afternoon. I am going to try to do seven videos on these seven stage of prayer. I hope. Don't be too hard on me I am still learning.
Padraig, you did a wonderful job of highlighting the necessity of growing in the habit of daily prayer. In this day and age, a clear warning against daily activities that stifle our attempts (ex. smartphones) is necessary and so you did. Geralyn has regularized our daily Rosary by requesting our recitation to immediately follow upon our supper. My best time for silence and centered prayer follows upon Lauds in the morning. Each of us needs to determine such in order to habituate a regular prayer life to the point of constancy; not a mindless habit, but one where our longing for God can produce good fruit; a true encounter. Dryness will come, even the dark night, thus the refusal to give up.
