The Catholic Man Show - Aquinas on Praying without Ceasing


St. Thomas Aquinas on Praying without Ceasing


About our drink:

Lagavulin Offerman Edition is an Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky aged for 11 years inspired by Hollywood celebrity Nick Offerman from the hit TV show Parks & Recreation. “I have traveled the world and sampled many attempts at pleasing nectars, but it is solely this distillation of Islay; a tiny, charismatic Scottish isle, that has claimed my palate.” – Nick Offerman

About our gear:

Legacy Icons is proud to offer our own selection of the best incenses we have found from around the world. Whether for use at home or in church, these are sure to augment your prayers as they “arise like incense” before God.

About our topic:

7 conditions for authentic prayer: Complete, humble, continual, devout, vigilant, insistent, and loving.

Forms of continual prayer:

1. One who does not neglect the times they should be praying – prays always.
2. Pray constantly means to pray continuously. Everything we do comes from desire. If we desire what is good, namely God’s will, then our works can become a form of prayer.
3. Giving of Alms. A cause of continual prayer. For the person who receives the alms, prays for you, even when you are asleep.

Fitness and Virtue with Pat Flynn – Episode 1 God didn’t just create us as spirits and then shackle us with bodies. As Catholics, we believe that the body and soul are intimately woven together, so it’s important that we work on both. Our friend Pat Flynn has written and spoken a lot on the virtues of fitness. He also has written several books, including an Amazon #1 seller:  Introduction to Kettlebells: A Minimalist’s Guide to Blasting Fat and Boosting Muscle.  A writer, entrepreneur, and “re-converted” Catholic, Pat focuses his efforts on helping others find happiness and wholeness through fitness, philosophy, and faith.
