Hey there ALIgator if you're here to gnaw on information and attack misconceptions, then you've come to the right place
So I'm Ali-Marie, and this is My Catholic Perspective. If you are here and subscribed
You are officially a part of the ALIgator family around here
We play a game where you guess the songs that I make parodies of throughout the video. Connor
McLaughlin from Rise Up Jerusalem was the winner of guessing correctly in the last video
So he got to help pick out the songs for this video. In the next video
it could be you! Our topic for day 29 of Lent comes from Mike Wilson
Asking how to avoid complacency in our prayer lives
The Bible calls us to pray without ceasing and when we look at Old Testament figures we see that they walked with God
When I used to .. a little bit, I felt like I was walking with God
But I think there's a way to do that soberly too. We can hear God saying "I want you to pray..."
So sit back, relax,
And enjoy the show. The first tip I have is to develop a place or area in your home that is your prayer
Corner. This can have a candle that you really like the scent of or perhaps in sense that you would burn, a super comfortable chair
That you like sitting in, a nice cozy spot for your hot drink in the morning. This is my spot right by the fireplace.
If possible set a particular time every day that you can sit in this area and pray. I found for me if I don't
set a time and make it a priority it ends up not happening.
The prayers gonna pray pray pray pray pray, and the chair is gonna stay stay stay stay stay,
And I'm just gonna say say say say say, "Set it up! Set it up!"
Two. Utilizing meditation books and prompts in my prayer life has been absolutely life-changing.
Reading daily devotionals is helpful and everything but for me and my prayer life actually
Integrating in meditations from previous Saints has really helped me in avoiding that complacency
In my life. My two favorite books have to be
Meditations with Saint Teresa of ávila journey into the sacred and the Imitation of Christ by Thomas a Kempis.
The Imitation of Christ is actually more in a dialogue set up where it's Christ speaking to his disciple
So it's a unique perspective if you're trying to hear God talk to you in your prayer life.
I'll put links for both of these books down in the description
Pray along if you feel like mystics are for you.
Three. Okay, okay,
I'll say it. Praying the rosary in its standard form can sometimes get a little tedious for me.
That's why I have three versions of the scriptural rosary available
I used to pray a live daily rosary on my Facebook page and would integrate in one of these books so I suppose if you
Wanted to be wet in a rosary you could go check those out on my Facebook
Or I will put links in the description for these two
Essentially all that it is, is a verse is read before every Hail Mary is prayed or in some these
Versions a story is told before the decade begins for me. It helps me stay focused
On the Rosary because I get to learn more of the depth that's behind each bead and each mystery
Mother Mary, Can you hear me? Please relay my prayers.
Four. If there is a perpetual adoration Chapel in your city take advantage of it! The closest perpetual adoration Chapel
For me is about 20 minutes away. When my husband and I were engaged we had a holy hour that we had signed up for
that we went to every single week.
This is similar to that first suggestion I made about setting a time
But this is actually going and being in the presence of Christ whose grace will surpass anything that you can get in your living room!!
Plus, there's a level of somebody else being dependent on you to be there the held me accountable
in a way that my living room chair couldn't. ;)
Oh, He's always there, Woah oh, Just an hour of prayer. Take a book, and you'll make it I swear. Whoa oh, Just an hour of prayer.
Fifth, and finally, when we are spiritually out of shape it can have an impact on how we are feeling
emotionally and physically. Just like if we eat a ton of cookies and feel sluggish and just kind of "bleh" afterwards, our
Spiritual life can have a similar impact on us. Our body is like an internal ecosystem
where everything is trying to remain balanced.
It's a constant ebb and flow of trying to keep things moving
But in a way that is conducive to life and life abundantly.
Which is what we can get through Christ when we seek Him in prayer!
Spiritual Fitness!
Get your spirit toned with some daily prayer!
So gnaw on that! A Catholic Mom's Life actually is doing a video on this exact same topic, so if you found my
Information helpful, you better go over to her channel and check hers out as well because her information is just as useful!
Also wanna say
Thanks again to Connor McLaughlin for helping me out with these songs! So much fun collaborating with you!!
Now who will be next?
Until next time we'll see you later, ALIgator!
