St. Paul in his first letter to the Thessalonians says, "Rejoice always, pray constantly, give thanks..." A theme of this series has been that prayer is a way of being rather than doing. In this podcast, we discuss ways to take our prayer and discussions forward so that we can pray without ceasing.

In this episode, Sr. John Marion and Blake discuss the reality of being distracted in prayer and what to do about it. If you've ever been distracted in prayer, do not worry. You are not alone. Every human heart searching to live in the Sacred Heart of Jesus has dealt with distractions. They are as natural to us as....oh look a squirrel!
