Summary
Prayer isn't hard because you're lazy, distracted, or doing it wrong. It's hard because prayer asks for something modern life is designed to destroy: sustained attention directed toward God. In this video, we'll look at what the saints, the Catechism, and centuries of Catholic wisdom teach about why prayer feels difficult, why dryness doesn't mean failure, and how to build a prayer life that actually lasts.
