If you consulted a priest because you felt you were praying to much, and he told you to ‘cut back’ would it actually displease God to not take the priests orders and say your prayers as you normally did?
This could be part of the problem, “saying” prayers as if grace could be mathematically quantified. Another problem arises when people pray but obstinately remain outside the state of grace and avoid the confessional. Many people say things such as, “I pray all the time, I know I’m okay with God,” even though they are obstinate about sacramental life.say your prayers
what is the purpose of prayer? surely one of the most important is growing spiritually and becoming closer to God. all the great spiritual writers and teacher tell us the surest way to that end is obedience and humility.You obey the priest in confession, because reception of the sacraments is our highest form of prayer, and it is impossible to engage in prayer that attempts to contradict the action of the sacraments, one of which is the priest’s counsel in confession and his spiritual direction.If you consulted a priest because you felt you were praying to much, and he told you to ‘cut back’ would it actually displease God to not take the priests orders and say your prayers as you normally did?
