Contemplata Episode 20 | Javelin Prayers | Fr. James Brent, O.P.
from Contemplata · host Dominican Friars Province of St. Joseph
As we’ve discussed for a few episodes now, one of the principal pathways to metanoia is prayer. And one of the principal challenges to prayer is distraction. Aside from external distractions which many of us suffer from, we have interior distractions. Even the Desert Fathers, who committed their entire lives to prayer, faced interior distractions from prayer. But they found a solution—short, frequent prayers—or “javelin prayers” as they called them.Follow us on:Instagram: @contemplatapodcastYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/DominicanFriarsMediaSupport: If you want to support this podcast, please visit dominicanfriars.org/contemplata
