3 Goals of Mental Prayer | St. Alphonsus Advent Reflection

Welcome to Advent Daily! 🌟 Today, on Wednesday of the First Week of Advent, we dive into an Advent reflection inspired by St. Alphonsus on the goals of mental prayer. 🙏✨ In this episode, we explore the three primary goals of mental prayer: 1️⃣ Uniting our will to God. 2️⃣ Asking for the grace to live a virtuous life and avoid sin. 3️⃣ Seeking to know and follow God’s will. Too often, we approach prayer focused on immediate needs, like family, friends, or career aspirations. But St. Alphonsus invites us to go deeper, aligning our hearts and actions with God’s plan. Drawing inspiration from the Blessed Virgin Mary—whose life was a continual “yes” to God—we reflect on how prayer transforms our hearts more than our circumstances.
