How to Pray Better: Consistency, Meditation & Detachment ~ Fr. Ripperger

Sep 20, 2025​

​

Sensus Fidelium​

​

In this talk, we walk through the basics of deepening your prayer life—why many Catholics feel stuck, and the concrete steps to move from vocal prayer into meditation and ultimately toward transforming union. We cover consistency, devotion, the role of mental prayer, rooting out defects, detachment from the world, and how distractions are overcome by virtue and grace. With insights from St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Teresa of Ávila, St. Francis de Sales, and practical guidance on posture, environment, and family life, this is a focused roadmap for anyone who wants to “pray always.” You’ll hear why at least 15 minutes of daily prayer is a matter of justice, how the Rosary helps, what “sentiment in the will” means, why embracing worldliness cools charity, and how to ask Our Lady for the grace of prayer. We’ll also touch on the dark night of the senses, the prayer of simplicity, and the interior peace that comes from disciplined, daily meditation.

🙏 “If you love Me, keep My commandments.” Let’s reorder our priorities, seek first the Kingdom, and build a life of prayer that begins to look like heaven.

Your Guardian Angel: God’s Gift of Protection

Fr. Jason Lewis reminds us on the Feast of the Guardian Angels that each one of us has been given a personal heavenly companion from the moment of our birth until death (cf. Catechism 336). Jesus Himself teaches: “Unless you turn and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven” (Mt 18:3). Why? Because children know their dependence. To be childlike before God is to recognize our total need for His grace. Every angel is a pure spirit, entirely unique. St. Thomas Aquinas even wrote that each angel is its own species. Your guardian angel, unlike any other, was created by God to watch over you, to inspire you, to defend you in temptation, and to intercede for you. This reveals not only God’s glory but also the profound love He has for you personally. Fr. Jason reminds us that through Christ, our human nature has been elevated even above the angels. Mary, the Mother of God, is Queen of Angels, and each believer shares in this dignity through grace. This truth helps us see why Lucifer rebelled: pride refused to serve what was lower in nature, yet God exalts the humble. We are called, therefore, to trust in our Creator, accept His providence, and cooperate with our angelic guardians in the path to holiness. The saints urge us to honor our guardian angels and even treat them as friends. They accompany us always, leading us closer to God. As St. Josemaría Escrivá said: “Have confidence in your guardian angel. Treat him as a lifelong friend, and he will render you a thousand services.” Let us give thanks for these holy protectors, unseen yet near, who help us walk as children of God toward the eternal kingdom.
