Many Catholics have a difficult time enjoying a calming and peaceful prayer life because of the many distractions. These distractions can be the background noise of children crying or people talking at Mass, or distractions through other senses like annoying smells. Many of us have distractions in our own mind, thinking about work, family or business obligations or even letting our minds wander.

Hello, Everyone. Today's episode is about helping us to avoid distractions and focus our minds in prayer, so prayer can be calming and peaceful, even if the external world is noisy and chaotic. We will be discussing the four main points of distraction, which are external senses, passions, preoccupation and wandering of the intellect, and sin and scruples. 11-Jul-2019
