Father Damian shares his retreat experience of turning off his phone to open up conversation with the divine. Deacon Mike offers actionable steps to silence notifications during prayer if you're using a prayer app as well as not having his phone nearby during meals.
Hortensia brings a fresh perspective by highlighting the unique opportunities summer’s longer days provide for extended prayer sessions and contemplative activities, such as praying the rosary while walking on the beach.
Consistent prayer practices are the cornerstone of a deepened relationship with God. Explore how the daily examen can fit flexibly into your schedule, whether during a lunch break or before bedtime. We discuss the benefits of a distraction-free environment, the power of physical movement in enhancing your spiritual routine, and the inspiration that personal surroundings filled with meaningful items, like pictures, can bring. Drawing parallels between spiritual discipline and physical exercise, we underscore the supportive roles of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary in guiding your spiritual journey.
