All Things Catholic with Dr. Edward Sri

Darkness in Prayer: A Lover’s Game?

Listen Later

Do you ever feel like God is not listening? Is prayer just merely a game to God? So many of the saints have gone through seasons of dryness and darkness in prayer. In today’s episode, Dr. Edward Sri looks to the wisdom of St. Catherine of Siena, a Doctor of the Church, who shows us how to faithfully respond and cooperate with God amid those most difficult seasons. 

Snippet from the Show

"Prayer is the meeting of two desires: our desire for God and God's desire for us." 
St. Catherine of Siena
