Affection for Jesus
Father Michael Najim has another wonderful video for us on having affection for Jesus. Listen below to learn about how we can develop a deep affection for Jesus Christ in our personal lives.
Affection for Jesus: Father Michael Najim, a priest of the diocese of Rhode Island, reflects on God’s mercy and on our affections: good and bad affections, affection for sin and attachment to sin, affection for our Lord Jesus Christ in our lives. He discusses the damaging effects of sin and how we feel because of it. He talks about how to remedy our affection for sin by developing a deep affection for Jesus. Then is gives specific instruction on how we can develop a deeper affection for Christ and lessen our affection for sin. Father Najim lists three steps to implement in order to grow in this affection, including: what type of prayer we should practice every single day, how much time we should devote to prayer, and the sacraments
We thank Father Michael Najim, once again, for sharing this wonderful video which was originally posted in the fall of 2013 on his former blog.
