During this week’s episode of St. Joseph’s Workshop, Emily Lugo, M.P.S. & Fr. Stephen Ingram discuss the concept of Spiritual Dryness and distraction in prayer. They break open the etymology of the word ‘desert’ and its Hebrew roots to discuss how spiritual aridity can be an opportunity to talk to God and grow in your relationship with Him. They offer tips for how Christians can preserve through times of dryness and desolation and offer hope that God is ever-present, even in the silence.
