About this episode

Fr Columba discusses the reasons behind skipping prayer and emphasizes the importance of daily prayer in the spiritual life.

Have you ever skipped prayer and told yourself you were just tired, busy, or stuck on your phone? In this episode of Little by Little, Fr Columba names the harder truth underneath all of it. Every time we cut a corner with God, what we're really saying is "I know best." He shares why daily prayer is the single non-negotiable in the spiritual life, why he still struggles with it himself, and how getting radically honest about pride is the first step back to real prayer. An invitation to stop dressing up self-will and start showing up again, even with the worst prayer of your life. 🔴 THIS SERIES Little by Little | Episode #271 Little by Little is a weekly video series by Called to More in collaboration with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal.
