CarmelCast - Episode 5: Difficulties in Prayer

Carmelite SpiritualitySt. Therese
Written By Br. John-Mary of Jesus Crucified, O.C.D.

Anyone committed to a life of prayer will face the difficulties of distractions and aridity at different times. These experiences can be extremely frustrating and disheartening. However, even the greatest saints faced these same trials in prayer, and they show us that they are actually opportunities for growth in our relationship with God. In this episode, we examine the experiences of distraction and aridity in our times of prayer based on the teachings of the Carmelite masters.
