Description: This week, Dan and Melissa explain how tolerating distractions in the spiritual life can dissuade the enemy from discouraging us in prayer.

- How can we "gently" turn our thoughts back to God during prayer?
- The Catechism of the Catholic Church reveals to us that our distractions can uncover our sinful attachments.
- Is perseverance in prayer despite our distractions more meritorious than being without distractions all together?
