Can my care, be considered a prayer?

by Dan Burke

Join Dan and Stephanie Burke as they answer your questions about the Avila Institute’s High Calling Program, holiness, caring for a sick spouse and talking during Mass.

Topics/Questions Covered in the Show:

  • What is the Avila Institute’s High Calling Program?
  • What should we do when we are impatient when asking God to make us holy?
  • When one cares for a sick spouse and cannot pray, is the care being given considered a prayer?
  • Why are some Catholics legalistic and get angry when people greet and talk to each other in Mass? Doesn’t God want us to love one another through fellowship?

What is the Divine Intimacy Radio Show?

The Divine Intimacy Radio Show is a haven of rest and wellspring of spiritual life for those people seeking an increased intimacy with God and the enlightened path of Catholic mystical and ascetical wisdom.

Twice a week, host Dan Burke and his co-host, Melissa Elson, explore topics related to the interior life and to authentic Catholic teaching. And, it’s amazing what they do! On Tuesdays, they interview various authors about their spiritual books and about the authors’ own insights on those books. On Fridays, they get specific on subjects which primarily include prayer, spiritual direction, meditation, contemplation, and holiness.
