In this episode, Fr. Stephen, John, and Bertha finish their exploration of prayer through the fourth pillar Catechism of the Catholic Church. This episode isn't about merely reciting prayers; it's a deep dive into the essence and the art of praying. Fr. Stephen stresses the importance of teaching children how to relate with God through prayer - a relationship that goes beyond mere words but involves presence and contemplation.
They also bring to light the transformative power of prayer in our lives. It's not about changing God's mind but aligning our hearts to His will. They explore the Lord's Prayer and how the seven petitions encompass our desires for salvation. Additionally, in this noisy world, they make a case for silence and reflection – a time to connect with the Holy Spirit. So, if you're looking to deepen your relationship with the Lord and learn how to pray more effectively, this episode is a must-listen!
