MFP 180: Monks, Parents and Prayer

Lent is a great time to take inventory of our spiritual life and ask ourselves, "How am I doing in my relationship with God?" To help us all do that, we decided to interview Mike's spiritual director of many years, Fr. Boniface Hicks. Fr. Boniface is a director of directors! A Benedictine monk, he runs the Institute for Ministry Formation at St. Vincent Archabbey and is the author of several books on spirituality. But more important than that, he is a spiritual father giving guidance, encouragement, and sharing the Father's love to many people around the country and even the world. In this interview we discuss why we should pray at all! We also get into the practicalities of prayer - how to do it, how to make the time, and the effect it can have on our lives. Jump in and listen to this discussion we had with Fr. Boniface and our members on our most recent Neighborhood Date Night.
