Many are tempted to think that prayer always brings miracles to life, but it doesn't; it's a struggle and a race. Prayer is a conversation with God, and we often forget during prayer that we're supposed to be serving him, Lord, so we think of God as our servant... Catechesis on Distraction, aridity and acedia with P. Rabenirina Joseph.

Many of us refuse to pray because we beg and beg, but it seems that our prayers go unheard. Often it seems scandalous to us that it goes unanswered, but it's worth noting that prayer is not a miracle but a conversation with God and that he always listens, but he does what is really helpful... Catechesis on Distraction, aridity and acedia with P. Rabenirina Joseph.

If we happen to be a little sad, frustrated or even a little angry with God, and we seem to start asking him a lot of questions, then Pope Francis said: we do nothing about it, but we draw the heart of God our Father. In anger there is anger, and in anger there is anger, and in anger there is anger, and in anger there is anger, and in anger there is anger. In anger there is thirst... Catechesis on Distraction, aridity and acedia with P. Rabenirina Joseph.

The truly faithful do not extinguish prayer, but make prayer all the time like a lighted lamp in their hands, reminding us of the wise virgins and reminding us that the lighted candle was given to us on the day of our baptism. Get used to always turning to God, whether it's easy or difficult, because that's true religion... Catechesis on Distraction, aridity and acedia with P. Rabenirina Joseph.
