Making Daily Prayer a Habit (with Abby Fredrickson)

My guest this week is Abby Fredricksoon, Head of Content at Hallow, a Catholic meditation app. Abby is a wife and mom, and one of the prayer guides you will hear on the innovative prayer app, Hallow. I have shared about my love for this app on the show before, so I am thrilled to bring you this conversation about all the ways that Hallow can support you in your daily prayer life.

Abby and I discuss ways to make daily prayer a habit, some common “excuses” for not praying daily, what exactly meditative prayer is, and how to overcome some common obstacles to regular prayer. Join us for this inspiring conversation!


Shownotes

Prayer doesn’t have be separate from other parts of our lives, we can integrate prayer in our daily activities by speaking to God in the silence of our hearts.


Shownotes

My newest book is one that I wrote with Dan, the Manual for Marriage, a beautiful resource for every couple. In it, Dan and I share reflective essays on marriage and family life, but it also features a large collection of prayers, Scripture passages, hymns, and stories from the saints that will encourage and support you in your married relationship.  

I have received so much feedback from all of you about my newest book and the first chapter that I shared with you at the end of episode 210Giving Thanks and Letting Go: Reflections on the Gift of Motherhood is a book in which I share from my heart about the very real changes, challenges, triumphs, and joys of being a mom in an “emptying nest.” You can read that sample chapter at Ave Maria Press.
