Make Straight His Paths This Advent, Learn to Pray!

Happy Advent! We’re going to spend the next few weeks just like John the Baptist: preparing the way for the Lord! This episode is a little different in that I won’t have any guests, but I’ll be talking straight to you guys to share practical tips to prepare your hearts for Jesus’ birth at Christmas.
First up, we’re talking about prayer. What does it look like to pray? How do I pray well? What do I do with my hands?! I walk you through it all. Let’s dive in together.

Beautiful and powerful!!! I just finished watching for the 2nd time! The ACTS acronym is a Perfect way to remember How to Pray! Also, thanks for sharing some of your private, heart-felt stories that illustrate the power of God's Grace working in your family. You are an inspiration to me as a husband and father! May God continue to bless you and your family brother!

Chris, you are an amazing soul and man! I respect you immensely. As a new Catholic, I have learned so much from you. You speak in a very understandable way, a way I can understand having ADHD. It’s a struggle for me most of the time. I’m not an idiot, I have a very very high IQ but I still struggle so thank you. Thank you! ❤

[@RealLifeCatholic]

I’m pretty sure I’m ADD too! :) which is maybe why you can follow me. Honored to inspire you, friend. Pray for me

A wonderful reminder of how essential prayer is as are adoration, contrition, thankfulness are and then the doors are opened wide for the stuff that brought us to prayer.

Thank you Chris, you have helped to make my day better!

I was so excited when I saw that you had posted a video for Advent. The timing couldn't have been more perfect😂 because when Advent began, I thought to myself, I know what I'm supposed to be doing for Lent but for Advent?...🤷‍♀. Thank you for taking me back to the basics of the basics which is prayer. I have a tendency to complicate my spiritual life so your message really touched me. Thanks for this video.

Very grateful to have jumped on after receiving the text today. I need my meditation time every morning before I start my day. I have found when I don’t make that time my day isn’t as joyful. I appreciate the gift God has given you to share with others. Glad you are connecting your talks with Advent. Blessings to you and your family.

Today 40 years ago my Mum donated a kidney to her brother on her 46th birthday. She went to our Lord 20 years later. Tonite I am sitting with my horse hoping and praying he recovers and lives through the night. In the midst of it I draw on the example of faith of the "you're my dad" kind she lived as an example

[@KarenDeeck]

Wow 🙏🏻 Thank you 🙏🏻

Going thru Catechism in a Year & what are we covering now but prayer! So many times these ‘coincidences’ have happened, I stumble into a great talk like this. Love the ACTS mnemonic, thank you!

[@nanag3052]

Thank you, I can not tell you what an impact this made on me.

[@deanmarion5477]

Hey Chris, this is our launching point to getting us to getting deeper by praying, this advent is preparation or getting ready our hearts to make room for Jesus to accept him in our hearts some people who just don’t get it the Many are the few will accept Jesus into their hearts.

I have Chimayo dirt given to me by a friend. I haven't used it because i have no need for it - yet. But just in case, do you sprinkle a pinch on someone who needs healing...on the sick body part? What prayers go with it?
