Practicing Your Faith Daily – The Inner Life – November 20, 2024

Father James Kubicki joins Patrick to discuss Practicing Your Faith Daily

  • (7:58) How do we prevent daily prayer from just being routine and not impacting our life?
  • What is the value of having a routine?

(19:53) Break 1

  • Father Kubicki discusses his new book on daily reflections
  • (24:43) Bob – It is very important to have a set time and a set PLACE for daily prayer. I have built a chapel inside the closet.
  • Maria – Morning and Evening Prayer from the Liturgy of The Hours is a great way to pray daily – She is a 3rd Order Dominican.
  • (36:03) Bashann – How can we have our prayer life be more alive, and not just part of a checklist?

(40:55) Break 2

  • What other ways can we practice our faith other than prayer on a daily basis?
  • Connie – Being prepared to do my daily prayer in the morning… I arrived 30 min before I start work to the office, so I can be in the car praying without distractions
  • (47:21) Georgia – What point do you stop allowing kids not to participate  in family prayers? I have 8 children, when they hit the teen years they don’t want to be part of. I try to give them that space, or should I have basic expectation?
