Mt 24.37-44 Nov 30-25 "Being Spiritually Alert: Reading the Room in Life and Faith"

Send us Fan MailI recognize that staying alert can be exhausting at times and there may be times when taking a break would be appropriate.  I highly recommend developing skills to reflect on our lives when we might not have been as alert as we needed to be.  Retreats, Devotions such as the Daily Examination of conscience, a prayerful reflection developed by St. Ignatius of Loyola may be helpful.   Other examples are spiritual direction, contemplative prayer, Lectio Divina which is a meditative reading and contemplation of Scripture that draws attention to God's word through slow, reflective reading and prayerful response.  These spiritual exercises help us compensate when we are not alert and need extra help to focus.  Developing a reflective stance is worth the cost.  Finding time and space in your life will not be easy for some.Complete our 1 Minute Survey
