Third Week of Advent
Rediscovering Catholicism:
ADVENT PREPARATION: WEEK THREE
Daily Prayer
“The truth is that daily prayer is perhaps the most
difficult thing we will ever have to do. (170)
2.
For most prayer is hard work. Work worth doing,
but hard work never the less. (170)
3.
Prayer requires daily discipline. Prayer is central to
the Christian experience; without prayer Christian
life is not attainable. (170)
4.
You can’t grow an oak with a apple seed. (170)
5.
You can’t grow a good life with bad thoughts. (176)
6.
With each passing day God invites you to grow and
become a better version of yourself. (176)
7.
Be convinced that in this modern time it is not
that God has stopped talking to
us, but rather that we have
stopped listening to Him. (177)
8.
Our lives change when our habits change; your life will
change...when you start by praying ten minutes a day! Write
these four words on a piece of
paper; stick it on your bathroom
mirror!
TEN S
UTE
MIN
AY
A D
We need to withdraw from the noise of our life;
it’s time to enter the classroom of SILENCE!
10. The biggest challenge to the room of silence is
NOISE!
We wake up to a clock radio; we listen to a radio
when we shower; we watch television when we eat
breakfast; we listen to the radio on the way to work
or school; we listen to music all day long over the
intercom; we have cell phones; we have iPhones,
iPods; most of us have multiple televisions on and
leave them on even when no one is watching….
11. WE DEVELOP NOISE HANGOVERS!
WHEN PRAYER IS THE SPIRITUAL HIGH!
12. Is the way you talk to God with your prayers:
“LISTEN UP GOD,
YOUR SERVANT IS SPEAKING!”
or
SPEAK LORD,
SERVANT IS LISTENING!”
