Day 349: Temptation, Trust, and Prayer
The Catechism in a Year (with Fr. Mike Schmitz) - A podcast by Ascension Catholic Faith Formation
Categories:
What motivates our prayer? Do we see God as our “divine genie,” or do we look to him as our Father? We learn that the most common temptation in prayer is a lack of faith. Another major temptation is acedia or sloth. In the face of these temptations of presumption and discouragement, we must respond with filial trust in God our Father, the giver of all good gifts.
