You know that feeling. You sit down with your Bible and cup of coffee to spend some time with Jesus. But the distractions start. It feels like the conversation is sterile and dry. What can you do?
Today, Fr. Mark-Mary offers some reasons why prayer is hard and what can be done to remedy that dryness and find consolation and intimacy with Christ in our daily prayer life.
Meet Fr. Mark-Mary
Father Mark-Mary was ordained as a Franciscan Friar of the Renewal (CFR) in 2018 and lives at a friary in the Bronx.
The mission of the CFRs is to wholeheartedly embrace Jesus through fidelity to the Church and her Sacraments. Paired with their commitment to prayer, contemplation, and study of Sacred Scripture, the CFRs serve those around them, especially the poor, in the footsteps of Christ.
