When we are spiritually healthy, nothing bothers us.
The most dominant quality among Dynamic Catholics is a daily routine of prayer.
A daily routine refers to a specific time and place set aside for prayer. Dynamic Catholics make this time a priority each day.
More than just a time and a place to pray, Dynamic Catholics have a routine within their routine. When they sit down to pray each day, they don’t just see what happens; they have a routine within their routine. They tend to begin their time of prayer in very specific ways: by reading the Bible, praying the morning prayers of the Church, reading from a favorite spiritual book, etc.
Dynamic Catholics universally begin their day with some type of prayer, even if the main time they set aside for prayer is later in the day.
God speaks to us in silence. Spending time in the classroom of silence in indispensable in our quest for spiritual growth.
The Prayer Process is a seven-step tool designed to help us develop a routine of prayer, and the routine within the routine.
Prayerlessness is one of the great torments of modern times.
Every family needs a prayerful giant.
At some point Dynamic Catholics have become convinced that a life with prayer is better than a life without prayer.
Most Catholics have never been taught how to develop a daily routine of prayer.
Dynamic Catholics see a connection between the joy and fulfillment in their lives and their efforts to walk with God and grow spiritually.
The Prayer Process
Gratitude: Begin by thanking God in a personal dialogue for whatever you are most grateful for today.
Awareness: Revisit the times in the past twenty-four hours when you were and were not thebest-version-of-yourself. Talk to God about these situations and what you have learned from them.
Significant Moments: Identify something you experienced today and explore what God might be trying to say to you through that event (or person).
Peace: Ask God to forgive you for any wrong you have committed (against yourself, another person, or him) and to fill you with a deep and abiding peace.
Freedom: Speak with God about how he is inviting you to change your life, so that you can experience the freedom to be the-best-version-of-yourself.
Others: Lift up to God anyone you feel called to pray for today, asking God to bless and guide them.
