St. Anthony's Tongue Keep Watch: Learning to Stay Awake with God
What does it mean to “keep watch” with Christ?
In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus asks His closest friends a question that still reaches into our lives today: “Could you not watch with me one hour?”
Many Christians today are not losing faith, rather, they are losing rest. Exhausted by performance, overwhelmed by noise, and unsure how to simply remain present with God.
In this episode, we explore watchfulness as a contemplative practice: learning to sit with God in silence, to become aware of His closeness, and to rediscover a quieter path into the mystical life. Drawing from Scripture, the witness of Brother Lawrence, and the wisdom of the desert tradition, this reflection offers gentle, practical ways to begin praying with greater awareness and peace this Lent.
