Articles on Prayer, including difficulties with Prayer

[BarbaraTherese]

I have compiled these articles on Prayer (including some referring to or relating directly to difficulties with prayer) and have not got around to double checking source reliability, although at the time of compiling they seemed ok to me. Please let me know if any source is questionable.
If you have any good articles on prayer or connected matters, please do post the link into this thread.

Thank you, Barb! This is a real treasure trove of insights. I have bookmarked them, for future reference. (I especially liked Mother Angelica’s “Dawn on the Mountain”. This may be from her series of little pocket size booklets; Which I believe, are available through EWTN). God bless you, for digging these up and putting them before us.

Good to read, MV, that you found something useful in some of the links. Deo Gratius. I really wanted to read them all over time, and check out sources, but never got around to it.

Blessings and my regards…Barb
