Check out this great show form August 29, 2023
Father Rob Kroll joins Patrick to discuss Contemplation
- (4:03) What is Prayer?
- How do the three types of prayer, vocal, meditative and contemplative, connect with each other.
- (20:02) Rosemary - My mind is either blank many times or I start thinking about things going on in my day and get discouraged.
(25:41) Break 1
- How can you rest in the Lords presence by blanking your mind.
- (32:02) Carlos - First time practicing contemplation this morning. Amazed at what he received from the Lord. Glad you're talking about this today.
- Terri - When I try contemplative prayer, I almost feel like it's offensive to God like not giving it all.
(39:13) Break 2
- Monica - Has 8 kids. Homeschooled. Very busy and really longing to grow in prayer. It started with sleeping, washing dishes, being with children and coming into union with God.
- (46:52) Anna - Prayer also begins with what we do before or after prayer. How much time to we spend being stimulated by the world?
