In my effort to overcome spiritual dryness, I learned from Saint Therese of the Child Jesus that she usually recites the ‘Our Father‘ prayer very slowly during her moments of spiritual dryness as she said,
“Sometimes when my mind is in such dryness, that it is impossible for me to draw one thought to unite myself with God I recite very slowly an ‘our Father’ then the angelic situation, this prayer carries me away, they nourish my soul so much more than if I had recited them quickly one hundred times.”
This is how this great saint dealt with spiritual dryness, her way of overcoming Spiritual Dryness. Writing my daily prayers is an attempt to secure my days of dryness when I would tend to pray by listening to my previous prayers. By this, I keep uniting my soul with the lord my God. I hereby invite you, a precious friend to join me listen and pray these October fruits of my daily meditation as a means to overcome our moments of spiritual dryness. Shall we pray:
