Categories of Prayer: What a Daily Prayer Schedule Should Look Like 

Thank you for this summary

Thank you❤

Thank you!

Remember as well that meditation IS mental prayer. Christian meditation is not the same as Eastern meditation where you empty your mind and focus on nothing. The goal is not focus in itself. The goal is focus on God, on what we have read in our spiritual reading, on how we experience God in our lives. Mental prayer includes talking to God in words, sharing our emotions and sharing our silences. Our goal is not to become empty, but to become full.

Thank you!!

God is good. If you make an effort, the grace will follow.

"Prayer commands all." -St. Jean Vianney

Thank you for this Fr!! Wish you could come to our Parish!

@@simonsammut9289 why must you be a literal meme? The king james is based off of jewish texts altered after the death of Christs. The Douay Rheims is the best bible in English you can lay your hands on today. You come to catholic forums to spew hate, why do you wrestle with your conscience? Sola fide is debunked in the bible. Everything you have was given to you by us, and your founder was a fornicating, masturbating heretic who was broken by the end of his life. How can you follow the teachings of a man that said "go forth and sin boldly?" Mary is the mother of God, she has appeared in countless miracles, we have historical accounts of people witnessing her appear and defeat invading ottomans. We have them in my country Croatia and many others. If it were not for Mary you would not even be a Christian but a Mohammedan you understand this? It is righteous to give the Mother of God the respect her son demands of us, for her that humbled herself so profoundly during her earthly life. In fatima she spoke of those that insult her and offend God by doing so. Did pastor Jimmy Bob tell you we worship her as a God (you can literally not find a gram of evidence to support this)? Everyone thinks all Christians are idiots because of your 6000 year old earth theory and flat earth conventions. God gave you your intellect, research for yourself and don't blindly believe jimmy bob. Most of your bibles are so horrendously mistranslated that you can't even trust them. Like the wedding in Cana for example. How you got "woman what have I to do with you" from what does it have to do with me and you (mihi et tibi) is foul play and obvious to all. The church is always open to those who come back, some very fine catholics are former protestants such as Taylor Marshall, I suggest you watch some of his stuff. God bless brother

Simon Sammut where does it say in the Bible the “sola fide” doctrine fabricated by your heretic father Luther !? Your thousands of denominations spreading lies and error ! Luther must be revolting in his grave to see the disaster he caused, or I should say hell. Why are you here ? Stay in your Protestant channels all about feelings and kumbaya !

Stefan Knezovic he’s not a Christian he’s a heretic Protestant they have highjacked the word “Christian” it’s so ambiguous we have to say we’re catholic, also their “pastors” teach them that we Catholics are not Christian, also “catholic” has become so ambiguous thanks to the NOvus order disaster... obviously Protestants can’t distinguish between a traditional catholic or a modernist NOvus orderite. God bless

@@elviragutierrez8396 thank you, that is good advice! Unfortunately, my story runs deeper than that. I’m actually writing a memoir of my experiences at work.. This incident actually occurred in 2018. I make it a habit to not entertain impure thoughts, but this girl who I call Jezebel 1 was putting things in my mind via witchcraft. I had to fight it off with prayer. She is a demon possessed gal that happens to have her office in the same hallway as my wife of 26 years. We all work together. I have a great wife, but she really doesn’t believe anything I tell her about what’s going on and neither do my parish priests. Only God through the intercession of our Blessed Mother saved my butt! My wife (kinda started to believe me) when her boss was telling her about how her lovable dog went up to J1 to be nosy at an out of office, and in a split second ran off scared from her! J1 did not appear to be mean at all with the dog?? To this day, the lovable dog has been jumpy ever since.

@@alvarocorral1576 May Jesus bless you and your wife. 🙏

@Janette Davis you have not read the Bible.. no one can get to Jesus but threw the blessed virgin Mary and no can get to God, but only threw Jesus. This has been said in mass too.

Pink Lady please tell us the bible verses that say the only way to Jesus is through the Virgin Mary?

@@simonsammut9289 In the gospel of St.John, and because God declared her to be the Mediatrix of all graces. She is the Mother of God do not forget that. 'Ignorance of the Bible is ignorance of Christ' St.Paul says, but now for us Catholics 'Ignorance about Mary is ignorance about Christ'. Godbless!🙏

Mitch Alvarez ....which verse in the book of John does it say no one gets to Jesus but through Mary? I can't find it.....And also I would like to know the verse where Paul says us Catholics?

Pink Lady I think he was saying that the name of Jesus is a holy prayer itself. But he is not saying anything wrong here, he was saying that saying the name of Jesus is essential

Amen. I'm with you.♥

@@ihs2021 Bless you. Thanks. 😊

Probably not a Catholic

At first, a non Christian may rebel against prayer. Just to know that the thumbs down people visited makes me very happy. It's a start. I have to work on myself because I still have negativity in me, and I end up being shallow and hurting others. I hope they come back.🙏

I agree, but why does he pray in the opening so rapidly? Spending time with God is not like being a runner in a race. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3-5

So true..

I love your youtube profile picture.

Mine too

The PDF isn't available through the link anymore. Is there another way we can access it? Please and thank you. :-)

Here in California, we're not allowed to arrive early or stay late at mass, we're not even allowed to go in the buildings! 😭

Really? In these times no one can come in early or even attend mass un-anounced. We have to make a request for mass so they can control the number of people attending church.

That sounds like a good practice. Prayer before church magnified my experience at the church.

Ducky Hi! I’m from Cali too...it’s alright, only for now, until things get better with this virus. Though in close by areas, Catholic Mass are still celebrated outside Within the church grounds or at the grotto. God is in our hearts always, always. Me & my husband hear mass on EWTN and praying constantly. I also have the audio Catholic Bible. It’s wonderful to listen to it!! God bless and take care.

@@audreykennedy8891 they want to reduce the number because satan knows the power of the Mass. So, we need to intensify our prayer life, at home. We were told we would be without the daily sacrifice. So pray the Rosary and more..

Is it available for others to purchase?

@@elviragutierrez8396 they are usually found and available at religious used book stores, at church used book sales and etc. Sometimes it's an adventure, and honestly sometimes "stumble" upon them at these places .

The word “paradise” is derived from a Persian word meaning “walled garden.” The use of the word in Genesis points to this. Prayer is the way we build our souls' walls so as to keep evil out. I sometimes think of my soul as the soil in which God grows, and it is wise to ask Him to fertilize it.

Where do you live? In NY I’ve been going to Mass daily for about 3 weeks now

@@okimawilcox1550 London.

Jacqueline Harrod I pray you will be back at Mass soon!

@@okimawilcox1550 Thank you.😇

Do you know how to get to the description on the phone? I can see comments but can’t find the links

Victoria McMyne on the phone if you see the word save above that there is a downward looking arrow touch that or the title in general and the description should fall down

Keep praying my friend! === “If our Lord does not watch over our preservation, all of our efforts will come to nothing. No, my children, we shall not find any sinner who may be converted who has not recourse to prayer, not one who will persevere without having very great recourse to prayer, and we shall never find a Christian damned whose downfall did not commence with a lack of prayer." ==St. Jean-Marie Vianney I can't remember or find it, but here's another one (I think it's from St. Therese of Calcutta) You will stop praying or stop sinning, but not both.

I have not heard that it is an obligation per say but Our Lady many times has asked for us to pray the rosary so maybe that's what they are referring to.....also, a relationship with Our Lord should involve more than just 15 mins. So maybe that's a starting point. Just my 2cents sorry I can't be more helpful

@mary albrecht Catholics have over the centuries prayed the Divine Office. Perhaps a stay in a monastery could be arranged so that you might experience this amongst others. Maybe you have sisters or nuns whom you might call ahead to see if you can visit at one of the hours when these are said. I have seen them broadcast live online, but I am sorry that I cannot recall where from. Perhaps it was a FSSP parish. Please do try a search. As well, you will find printed breviaries with these prayers You might want a version that has both Latin and English. The prayers are available online. A shorter version, so I have heard, is the Little Office of The Blessed Mother, in book form.

It's the"Gift of Tears". It's a grace. St. Ignatius of Loyola had it and would be overcome at times while saying Mass at the goodness of God and his own unworthiness. Good for you!

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosary

I can. Rela to this.

Yes, I have the same question ...

He is reinforcing the fact that Catholics who are faithful to our traditions aren't something other than Catholic. "Trads" *are* Catholic. Traditional Catholicism *is* Catholicism, full stop. Those who call themselves Catholic and hate everything the Church ever stood for and separate themselves from her historical moral and liturgical traditions are not Catholic.
