What does prayer mean to you, my friends?

Good afternoon, and greetings to one and all!

Thanks for being around, my dear brothers and sisters in Christ. How are you folks doing?

Lately, I had been watching a few more video podcasts, or, I believe you can call those that way.

From Catholic priests like Bishop Robert Barron, Fr. Fiel Pareja, and Fr. Eva Chibuzo Asadu (and a few others too, whose ministry I get to listen to, online).

My friends, it is a blessing for me, also.

A profound way, while still being a practical way, to grow in our Catholic Christian faith.

Folks, listening to Catholic priests, nuns, brothers and other lay-ministers or persons like us. Has helped lead me to a deeper faith and prayer life.

Although, I hope it has also led to some behavioral changes. The things I need to change, in order for me to grow as, like you and others, to grow as a disciple of Christ Jesus, our Lord.

It is possible to grow. Even amidst our modern technology, fast and instant services, and what have you.

I think, we need faith all the more, nowadays, my friends.

It is easy for us to get lost, or, to even lose ourselves in the pursuit of so many things. We think are worth the while. Yes, my friends?

That, for one, we often forget that eternity lasts forever. And that our earthly lives might be, for all that I could imagine, a drop in the vastness of eternity.

Folks, I’m not saying don’t entertain yourselves with what we have presently. No, sorry.

In my opinion, I think we should give it some of our serious time. To fervently pray from a quiet block of our time, hopefully daily, if we can, and at times actively listen to our spiritually more mature brothers and sisters in the church.

With this, I would like to invite you to pray with me. Yes, let’s pray.

We must get ourselves grounded first.

We lift up and learn to surrender ourselves to God. And ask God to take care of everything.

Peace be with you, my friends.

And thanks for being around here, at this time. God bless.
