Fr. Steve Borello's Homilies

Fr. Steve and Ashley discuss the role of emotions in prayer, how to grieve, and the importance of deep breathing. Why is it important to notice emotions and relate them to the Lord? How can we notice if we have unrelated grief or pain? What does breathing have to do with prayer?

Fr. Steve and Ashley discuss the foundations necessary to have a fruitful prayer life, including the reality that prayer doesn't depend on us making the first move. The Lord pursues us, calls us by name, and loves us. We don't need to perfect ourselves or clean ourselves up before being able to go to God; He desires us just as we are, in the mess. He receives us perfectly as we are and brings us to more.
