Why St. Francis de Sales' method appeals

Do you struggle to pray? Most of us do, but the truth is, prayer is essential, not optional. Without it, the spiritual life withers; with it, everything begins to fall into place.

Fr. Christian Goduti breaks down a simple, practical method of mental prayer inspired by Saint Francis de Sales—one that anyone can start using today. His step-by-step approach makes the interior life accessible—even if you only have a few minutes. So tune in and learn how a consistent prayer life—no matter how small the start—can transform the way you live.
