Meeting God In Prayer w/ Fr. Timothy Gal...

Chris Stefanick | Real Life Catholic
About this episode

Sometimes it can feel impossible to meet God in our daily lives.

Fitting real prayer in between our daily duties is difficult, and most of us don’t even know what it means to meditate on God’s presence. Fortunately, Fr. Timothy Gallagher is back with more incredible advice for meeting God in our own lives!

He’ll tell you about the awesome program for spirituality given to us by St. Ignatius of Loyola, which has formed Catholic heroes like St. Isaac Jogues, Mother Teresa and St. Francis de Sales. Better yet, he’ll give you an achievable plan for prayer so that you, too, can know what God is telling you.

A relationship with God is possible for all of us; listen to the show to learn how!
