Patrick Conley sits down with Fr. Bobby Blood to speak about how we’re those who make issues difficult, not God.
Make sure to take a look at the full hour of dialog and perception.
The Coronary heart of Simplicity ❤️
Fr. Bobby reminds us that simplicity is abouteradicating the pointless muddle. Jesus praised individuals with out duplicity: those that have been the identical inside and outside. That’s the purpose of our non secular life too! As an alternative of piling on limitless devotions, prayer routines, and non secular checklists, we must always concentrate on what God is definitely inviting us into: a relationship with Him.
Why Do We Overcomplicate Our Religion?
Patrick and Fr. Bobby talk about why we fall into the lure of non secular busyness:
🔹 We would like measurable success. (“Give me a non secular report card, please!”)
🔹 We evaluate ourselves to others. (“If that holy individual prays 10 Rosaries a day, I should be slacking!”)
🔹 We predict extra = higher.
Fr. Bobby factors out that the Pharisee in Luke 18 did all the suitable issues, however his coronary heart was within the flawed place. When our religion turns intoa résumé as an alternative of a relationship, we’ve missed the purpose.
Indicators You’re Overcomplicating Issues 🚩
Fr. Bobby offers some sensible knowledge on how one can self-diagnose non secular muddle:
✅ Are you doing issues simply because others are?
✅ Have your devotions develop into mechanical as an alternative of life-giving?
Should you answered sure, it could be time to simplify and concentrate on what really attracts you nearer to Jesus.
So… How Do We Maintain It Easy?
A caller, Jonathan, shares how his non secular director informed him to decide simply two devotions and persist with them for six months. He stated that the consequence was peace, readability, and depth as an alternative of an amazing stress. You don’t want a mile-long prayer routine, only a devoted one.
Closing Thought: Easy ≠ Straightforward, However It’s Price It
Simplicity within the non secular life isn’t about doing much less; it’s about doing what really issues. As an alternative of striving for a non secular trophy case, let’s concentrate on being current with God. Possibly which means sticking to at least one or two devotions. Possibly it means letting go of comparability. However one factor’s for certain: The holiest individuals aren’t essentially the busiest ones; they’re those who love finest. ❤️
So, what’s one factor you can simplify in your non secular life at this time? 🤔
