Join Dan Burke and Melissa Elson as they answer your questions about distractions in prayer, seeking perfection in the spiritual life and prayer postures.

Topics/Questions covered in the show:

• How can we keep our minds from wandering during prayer?
• Can we attribute any of these distractions to God?
• Should we separate mental prayer from our petitions?
• Are distractions sinful?
• What should we do if we always fall asleep during the rosary?
• Does God expect perfection from us? If He does not, why do we strive to be perfect?
• Why are different postures in prayer important?
