Blueprint for Catholic Living, Part 4 – "The Prayer of Going Forth and Seeking Within"

Just as an animal becomes a stronger beast of burden and more beautiful to behold the more often and better it is fed, so too confession - the more often it is used and the more carefully it is made as to both lesser and greater sins - conveys the soul increasingly forward and is so pleasing to God that it leads the soul to God's very heart.

This is the essence of this gospel message: you don’t need to be healthy enough, wealthy enough, well known enough, or anything enough to be forgiven, i.e. to heal your relationship with God and the members of your community.... (www.catholic365.com)

The one concern of the devil is to keep Christians from praying. He fears nothing from prayer-less studies, prayer-less work, and prayer-less religion. He laughs at our toil, mocks at our wisdom, but trembles when we pray.

As we Americans celebrated Independence Day, it’s important for us to consider the spiritual independence from evil that each of us needs, and which only Jesus can give. Today’s Gospel helps us reflect on the conflict required to achieve spiritual independence.... (www.catholic365.com)
