Could you please talk about the 3rd order, Secular Carmelites? Thanks and God Bless You abundantly.
This is one of the best discussions and explanations of contemplative prayer I have ever heard. May God bless you both! Thank you!
Learning from these godly young men gives me hope in the younger generation when so many seem to be walking away from any form of faith.
I stumbled upon these podcasts … I am an older Catholic, so these guys look really really young to me but I recognize that they are speaking from the heart and sharing the truths as they know it….so now I don’t think I stumbled on these podcasts…,now I think mother Mary lead me here…. One more step closer to Jesus.
Amen. Lord I love you.❤
very helpful and practical explanations of a book which I found difficult to understand . thanks be to God for this video ministry 🙏
I love you po Lord Jesus..❤❤❤
Thank you. I appreciate learning about his childhood
If I'm praying and then think about something I need to buy or some current issue in my life, I don't see it as a distraction. Rather, I see it as God friendly reminding me about what I need to buy or suggesting an issue I need to pray about in the two-way conversation.
St. Elizabeth of the Trinity, pray for me. Amen.
Happy Trinity Sunday! Thank you very much for your podcast.
ST. TERESA BENEDICTA OF THE CROSS (EDITH STEIN): “It has always been far from me to think that God’s mercy allows itself to be circumscribed (limited) by the visible Church’s boundaries. God is Truth. All who seek truth seek God, whether this is clear to them or not.”
ST. TERESA BENEDICTA OF THE CROSS (EDITH STEIN): ‘The concept which assumes that everything in the Church is irrevocably set for all times appears to me to be a false one. It would be naive to disregard that the Church has a history; the Church is a human institution and, like all things human, was destined to change and evolve. Likewise, its development takes place often in the form of struggles.’
Wow…..Thank you this video has been so helpful I don’t know the words to express the degree of magnitude to describe …So grateful 🙏🌹❤️🔥🛐✝️🕊️Peace Be With you Both🙏🕊️
I discovered the book "Divine Intimacy" and the Carmelites three years ago (at the end of 2020). I'm on my fourth read through. I've been waiting for this episode. Thank you for your wonderful explanation of contemplation!
One of the fruits of mental pray can be inner joy based on the communion with God and the supernatural.
With prayer we must just start and allow the process especially when praying the little office of the b.v.m or rosary to allow the hole scriptures to become intune with God so our hearts can be in communion.
For me, the most effective form of prayer begins with an open heart. The heart open to give if ourself honestly and intimately to God and to be open to receive Gods graces. 🙏
Fantastic. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for your help and love explaining our human struggles with prayer. God bless CB you both
This seems similar to Ignatian spirituality.
Thankyou for sharing your experience 🎉
Oh you answer so many of my questions! Thank you so much. I too love this podcast.
So beautiful, so helpful. Thank you 🙏🏻 May God bless you & continue to inspire you to do many more lessons! You have a wonderful way of explaining very deep concepts.
I am so grateful for these podcasts. I get so much from them. ❤
Wow! Tulips are awesome! This is an awesome analogy. I love all your episodes, and I'm REALLY loving this one. Thank you, Friars.
The first time I really gave myself to God and prayed with all of my heart, I fell asleep. I woke up feeling like the weight of the world had been lifted from me. I took it as a sign that I made the right choice and I haven't looked back.
Love Carmelite spirituality!❣️
🙏
Thank you so much for this talk. I have this question, I have heard the advice; for example when praying the Rosary, to stop and pause with God. which I never understood till today. but I still have this question. If one sets to meditate on the 20 mysteries of the Rosary, what then happens to the rest of the meditation I would like to offer God? do I wait and do it later? I Thank you for all you do. I really like Carmelite spirituality and you guys have been a lot of help in understanding and putting it into my life
Thank you for using a Q&A format for a difficult subject. I am an OCDS for 29 years. This is probably the clearest and most easily understood description of contemplation that I have heard. I love your videos. Thank you so much!
Oh I so do agree. I am 67 years old. I felt called to be a nun when I was 12 yo. I thought I was imagining things & thinking I was more than what I was. I thought if my experience’s. And I realized I was Not imagining my feelings & thoughts. I was actually being called to Love The Divine Trinity even more. You called that being called to a Deeper Faith. Thank you. This video was very helpful.
Excellent podcast. We learned this in the School of Mary of Jean Khoury
Very true. You Just want to stay there with God forever. It’s literally heaven. I remember asking Him can I stay here with you? Of course He says, open your eyes hahah. Just when you can live there He sends you out again. Until next time. Saying I’ll be waiting my darling. It’s such a gift. You can just rest there. It may be exciting and you’ll want to talk to everyone about it in the beginning but after years and years you just keep it to yourself. It’s you and God and loving each other. Smiling like a fool in love to anyone who sees you. But nothing matters except smiling to Him in His forever. In his laughter. My Love I’m so happy to see and be with. To me God opened my heart after practicing just giving love in my mind to everyone I meet. Just the constant love giving was His opening to come in. To teach me because He’s my only teacher. So patient and sweet. My only Love of my life. It’s like my secret. That’s why I gravitate toward anyone speaking of contemplation. It’s so fun to know there’s others out there experiencing the same. Brothers and sisters in faith and love. Wish I could hug you all. Thank you for your conversation.
This is a beautiful conversation to be a part of thank you Fathers. Please pray for my continued conversion and for the conversion of my husband.
very good content! following from Brazil. hug to the friar Paris
Thank you this is so helpful. Being an older Catholic your answer to your call from God strengthens the hope we have for the future of the church in the next generations. I believe because God is in this place 😁
I learn so much from your podcasts. Thank you so much.
I am a Carmelite as well and vey grateful to you, dear Fathers.
🥰🙏❤️✝️
Listened last night and now I get to see your beautiful faces! 💞🙏🏻🌹
You look like biological brothers as well as spiritual ones
It's just the haircut
Thank you, Brothers! Your podcasts are so very helpful as we climb higher and search deeper. Peace🕊️
This was really beautiful. Thank you
Thank you for the reflection on prayer and the difficulties during prayers. These are real struggles for me. Hope I will be able to pray better.
This discussion is SUCH a blessing to me tonight!! Thank you!!
Thank you God for showing me this video today! U always lead me and never let me down <3
For me, before i got into praying holy rosary everyday, i think we need sacrament of confession, go to mass as often as we can and receive the eucharist, i think we must be in state of grace, so that we can medidtate the holy rosary...
I am sure I am watching this because HolySpirit lead me to this ,I am a mother ,but lives a contemplative life in the middle of this noisy ,busy world .Bit sometimes I have some conflicts going on with the mental prayer verses Contemplative prayer for it is hard me to do any vocal and mental prayer anymore for long years This gave lots of confirmation on the inner /Silent /Contemplative prayer Please keep us in your valuable prayers
Yesterday in the adoration chapel, I encountered a woman who was there another time. I find it annoying that she whispers loud enough that it intrudes on my own thoughts and prayers. I thought about writing a brief polite note asking her to pray internally, then I thought of the parish office to complain. Something kept me from doing it yesterday, same as the previous time. If this is what she needs I should not take it away from her.🙏🏾. You both just confirmed that. Thank you.
I do have sleep apnea, so falling asleep during the time of saying the Rosary, Adoration and mass. How can I honor God with my human short comings?
