(5:50) how can people start a prayer routine?
(13:35) John - Used to get up early in the morning and not remember what I prayed.  Now I get up move around and get into one of the readings of the Mass.  Always start with gratitude for the day.

When do you know when to persist and when to pivot in prayer?
(29:19) What to do in dryness of prayer?
(33:31) Mary - My routine is to pray slower, meditate on everything I'm saying.

(37:53) Break 2
