Check Us Out If You Like

We have moved over to our new Per Christum Catholic Blog. In fact, we moved there awhile back, so I thought I would provide you our new link :). So if you are reading these posts, remember that we have left this place awhile ago, and we like our new home better. We do post here occasionally, but our newer posts are pretty much over at the other blog, which is now hosted on our own domain.

We have provided the Catholic world with a lot of excellent content that a lot of Catholics like. Unfortunately, our schedules have caused us to slow down quite a bit, so we aren't producing the material like we used to, but you will still find the occasional post at both blogs.

So what have we been up to? Recently we have been involved on other projects, including writing a great book about positive affirmations, Say It Like You Mean It.

God Where Are You??

I have known many people that ask God, where are you? They are basically asking why God has not responded to their requests for prayer. While some Catholics and Christians may consider a question like God where are you to be full of doubt and irreverence, I disagree. There are many times when Christians and believers wonder if God exists, or if he is out there listening. In fact, Psalm 44 asks a similar question, and asks if God has actually fallen asleep! Thus, I think it is natural that Christians and other religious people as God where are you?

Even Jesus pretty much asked the same question, when he cried out "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" If Jesus, the Son of God, can basically ask God where are you?, then certainly we have that right without having our faith called into question. Of course, faith is important, and ultimately, the way of faith is better, something Jesus makes quite clear. Nonetheless, it is a normal part of life to ask questions like God where are you, because God is more than willing to give a good answer, which is that God knows exactly where you are!

How to Pray More

You may often wonder how to pray more. The answer is actually pretty simple, and it is to follow the advice of Saint Paul and "pray with out ceasing." Learning how to pray more is to learn how to pray continually, to pray as often as possible.

You can pray at any time during the day, and every action you do for God can be considered a prayer. One way you can discern how to pray more is to recite various prayers at different times throughout the day. For example, Catholics can pray the hail Mary prayer more, or the Our Father Prayer. Anytime you want, you can pray any of these prayers. This is one way to pray more.

Learning how to pray more is simply a matter of making prayer a priority in your life. If you have time to watch TV, you have time to pray. If you have time listen to music while driving, you have time to pray during that time. If you want to learn how to pray more, just take a break, and start to pray any time you are busy doing something else.
