As a cloistered Carmelite, we spend 8 hrs a day in prayer. We are taught to pray the distraction and not fight them. Talk to the Lord about them and then simply move on. If you fight them, it makes them worse. Even the temptations. The Lord is concerned about ALL aspects of you and your life. Tell Him everything. That way ALL becomes prayer.
Similar advice as to how I have started praying about temptations. For the longest time, my prayers were normally something like, “Lord, please take away my temptations!!!”, and now I instead try and pray, “Lord, please teach me how to respond to my temptations in a way that is Christian, and brings You honor!”
Thank you,. I have said the daily rosary for several years during Adoration. It takes the whole hour and I always think it is a waste of time because I don’t concentrate. Same with Mass. Thank you for your comment. God bless you. I will pray for you and your Sisters.

ST.TERESA OF LISIEUX: “I should be distressed that I drop off to sleep during my prayers... But I don’t feel at all distressed. I know that children are just as dear to their parents whether they are asleep or awake, and I know that doctors put their patients to sleep before they operate. I’d never before heard it said that one’s faults did not distress God, and I was overwhelmed with joy when I did receive this assurance. It gave me patience to endure this life of exile. It was, too, the echo of my inmost thoughts. For a long time I had realized that Our Lord was more tender than a mother - and how well I know the depths of tenderness in more than one mother’s heart! I know that a mother is always ready to forgive the misbehavior of her child.”
Father Malachy this was such a timely topic! I have been struggling with my "squirrels" all the time and I don't have the excuses of family, laundry etc to distract me as I live alone. But what you said really helped and I will concentrate on that when I'm saying my rosary and the squirrels come out to play. God bless you in your ministry in Nicaragua. I will say a weekly rosary for you (I'm trying to say a morning and evening rosary these days). I hope Father Mark Mary will continue with the videos. I love the Chaplet of Divine Mercy you did with Father Toussaint. God bless you both and thank you for all the wonderful videos you've made.
This reminds me of possibly the strangest “squirrel” moment I myself have had, saying the rosary a few years ago. During that time, I had recently checked out that black comedy musical produced on Broadway, “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street”. Very quickly, some of its musical numbers got stuck in my head. So I soon had a moment during one of my decades, where my mind suddenly began playing the instrumental music to “Pirelli’s Miracle Elixir” in the background and even saying my current prayer at the song’s pace. I had to stop for a moment and redo those particular Hail Marys properly, but then I did the rest of it just fine as normal. So if anyone else had similarly weird distractions during a rosary, he can probably feel better about oneself.
@@markcobuzzi826 The enemy , especially now is working overtime to distract us from walking through the gospel with Our Virgin Mother. However, if you notice the Comforter allows this by turning tour distractions to a way that you can apply whatever thoughts you are having to the Gospel teachings. Part of the Grace of meditating with our Mother. Clears out a lot of garbage in the soul. Kind of get what I mean?
At first I thought “aw man, I’m gonna miss Fr. Malachy on these videos” but then I realized perhaps the people in Nicaragua needed him more. I’ll be praying for you and your journey/service

I know the Lord knows I have squirrels so I no longer fight them and learned something useful. They were the very things pressing on the heart & mind that should be prayed about. i.e. Boredom in prayer, fears, sadness, anxieties, anger, guilt, or other things not being handled, are the very things I needed help with handling, so when I notice I'm wandering in prayer, I identified it, and let it become part of my prayer. I leave the squirrels with the Lord.

Fr. Malachi, as a second grader(1962) I had the rare experience of meeting Fr. Gregory Smutko, just as he was returning to Nicaragua. His homily include the poverty of Nicaragua and ho we as children could serve Christ, as we serve the poor. I took this to heart and throughout my lifetime I always used Fr. Smutko’s message. In 2006, I visited San Francisco and met a middle aged man(an immigrant to the US) who told me the life of Fr Smutko. The first question he asked, did Fr. Have this very kinky, long hair? Yes, I had remembered that. He stayed with the poor in N. For the rest of his life. Not that I wish this for you, but you are truly on a discovery of the Cross Christ has purposed to you. Blessings on your love of God, His Son and your mission. Hope you learn much of this priest and his life. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. Remember, even an 7 year old can be your greatest audience. Pease be to you and all missionaries who take delight in serving Gods people.

I just tried doing a holy hour for the first time watching a live stream of Eucharistic adoration. I only lasted 30 minutes and there was SO much chatter in my head. But I kept returning to Jesus. I just kept hearing Joel 2:12 “return to me with your whole heart.” And that’s been an anchor for me! Thank you for your work and ministry! God bless you Fr. Malachy.
Oh my gosh, yes I get distracted as easy as a 3 year old from what plan is for dinner, what I’m doing, what I’ve done, what I should be doing, aw what a pretty dog, oh my gosh I have 10 mins to finish this prayer before work 🤦🏼♀️ EVERY SINGLE DAY! I’m now going to watch your video and hope I’m not alone and God knows my soul is always singing to him with praise, thanks, glory, asking for forgiveness etc. Blessings always 🙏🏻🕯❤️
I get distracted too in prayer, and come back sometimes laugh at myself how far my mind had gone away from the prayer. Thanks for reminding us of the father's love in our weakness and to continue to choose God again and again in those moments of distraction.
I get so much joy and peace seeing Fr. Mark Mary and Fr. Malachy together - they're a great duo. The goodness that radiates from these brothers in Christ is refreshing and soothing to the soul. God bless their hearts.
Thank you thank you thank you....I get so upset with myself when I see that "squirrel".....I think "why can't I focus!!!" Your words make me feel soooo much better!

I’ve been praying the rosary and getting distracted causing me to get discouraged but after seeing this I’m much reassured that it’s just more practice 🙏🏼 Thank you and God bless you Fr. Malachy
Hallelujah! I needed to hear this so much. I feel like I am in a constant fight with my brain to focus.. but I never give up until I'm done praying.. Whether it's the Rosary or any other longer type of prayer.. It is so frustrating. So much I often feel like crying.... So thank you. Knowing the fact I keep struggling against it makes Jesus happy.

Thank you for your advice on prayer Father Malachy! You helped me so much in person one time too with my problem remembering to continue novenas. You said, “however much you give, God will always outdo you in generosity.” Thank you for the advice! Prayers are coming your way for your ministry in Nicaragua!
Thank you for saying it that way... I often get discouraged when I am distracted. I actually took more than an hour listening to this because there were a lot of people near me who were making a lot of destructive noises. I wanted to listen an kept on playing this over and over so I would get some good Catholic guidance. I am glad that I listened and watched this video.
This is so great 😢 That baby and parent example is great and easy to understand, like how God shows his love and patience to us. I often judge myself when i get distracted while praying. Thank you 💕 I thank God that there are people like you here on yt 😊
Me too but I started listening to the rosary on Utube and it's brilliant! I just stick on my headphones and listen, even when I'm going around my hse I'm listening and saying it with the speaker, even just quietly to myself while listening. There's lots to choose from aswell 😉🙏💗🌼
Thank you Fr Malachy for your wisdom and blessings. You will be missed by many but many will be blessed by you on the next part of your journey with Christ. God bless
God bless, Fr. Malachy. We're going to miss you. This topic is really timely and I'm so glad that our Father rejoices when we're trying to focus on him after many distractions. 😍
God bless you, Fr. Malachy, on your new mission! I have learned so much about our faith from your stories and witness. You will be dearly missed! Every blessing in your work and safe travels. And God bless you and your ministry, Fr. Mark-Mary! I learn so much from your videos, please don't go anywhere just yet! Thank you for all you do. From Fiona in Dublin, Ireland.
God bless you always in all you do Fr Malachy. Your videos of your testimony and your spiritual advice have been inspiring and encouraging. I will pray for your work in Nicaragua and for your safety and protection. Thanks be to God for the gift of your witness and priesthood.
May the Lord be with you always Father Malachy! You are such a blessing to all of us and will be missed. I will keep you in my prayers. Safe travels and God bless🙏🏼
Thank you both for sharing your enlightening and uplifting videos! You both are gifts of God's love especially during these dark times we are experiencing. Even at my age, I find myself distracted while praying at times. I love the idea that God is encouraging me in my efforts, just as the loving parent He is! Father Malachy, may God bless and protect you as your vocation takes you to Nicouragua. May Our Blessed Mother keep her arms around you and keep that smile on your face 🙏
God bless you, Fr Malachi! That was a wonderful help to me and I’m immensely moved by your blessing. I’m going to miss you! It has been such a privilege walking beside you through this time leading up to your ordination. May your ministry in Nicaragua be fruitful and may God keep you and your brothers safe. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you Fr. Malachy, your presence has spoken volumes to the power and wonders of Christ. God bless your path in front and behind you on this new season of your life!
I'll tell ya, I find that I'm given the best solutions to problems as I struggle with concentration while saying my Rosary. I'm a business owner so I'm constantly planning and forecasting and dealing with these wierd market conditions, managing growth, investment opportunities, etc... I find that the things my mind keeps going back to will be presented a solution in the midst of that struggle. It's truly an on the spot blessing and what I perceive to be an acknowledgement by the Almighty that He's got the situation well in hand. I mean out of the box, solid, decisive ideas that totally come from outside my line of thought... It is truly wonderful... And absolutely a gift and sign from God...

Prayers for you Father Malachy! 🙏Thank you for the video Father. The suggestion about jotting the thing down and keeping it aside is so simple and yet seems effective. I will do that the next time I am distracted during prayer. Thanks again
I love Fr. Malachy! He is so down to earth and relatable! I have sent his words to my teenage son. I will greatly miss his thoughts on these video clips. I know he will be a great blessing to the people he will serve in Nicaragua! 🙏❤️

Oh! I was praying about this during my rosary this morning!
I pray mine every morning too 😱😱😇😇😇
me 3😇
So was I. Our Lord moves in mysterious ways.
This reminds me of possibly the strangest “squirrel” moment I myself have had, saying the rosary a few years ago.
During that time, I had recently checked out that black comedy musical produced on Broadway, “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street”. Very quickly, some of its musical numbers got stuck in my head. So I soon had a moment during one of my decades, where my mind suddenly began playing the instrumental music to “Pirelli’s Miracle Elixir” in the background and even saying my current prayer at the song’s pace. I had to stop for a moment and redo those particular Hail Marys properly, but then I did the rest of it just fine as normal.
So if anyone else had similarly weird distractions during a rosary, he can probably feel better about oneself.

No one comes to the Father except through Jesus! He is the way the truth and the life
4 years later I watch this video and feel the need to cry as the father is giving the blessing. May God bless us all.
Thank you for your advice on prayer Father Malachy! You helped me so much in person one time too with my problem remembering to continue novenas. You said, “however much you give, God will always outdo you in generosity.” Thank you for the advice! Prayers are coming your way for your ministry in Nicaragua!
God bless you and your work Fr. Malachy we will miss you
May the road rise to meet you Fr. Malachy. God bless you on your travels. You will be missed.
Thank you for saying it that way... I often get discouraged when I am distracted. I actually took more than an hour listening to this because there were a lot of people near me who were making a lot of destructive noises. I wanted to listen an kept on playing this over and over so I would get some good Catholic guidance. I am glad that I listened and watched this video.
This is so great 😢 That baby and parent example is great and easy to understand, like how God shows his love and patience to us.
I often judge myself when i get distracted while praying. Thank you 💕
I thank God that there are people like you here on yt 😊
Thank you father for the blessing we will miss your wisdom and knowledge
May God go with you Fr. Malachy! Be safe and we will miss you.
I get distracted when saying the Rosary, my brain always wanders
Me too, always...its really hard!
Same here!
Me too but I started listening to the rosary on Utube and it's brilliant! I just stick on my headphones and listen, even when I'm going around my hse I'm listening and saying it with the speaker, even just quietly to myself while listening. There's lots to choose from aswell 😉🙏💗🌼
@@noreendunne431 i started doing that too...❤️
Same!
God bless you Fathers. Specially God bless you Fr. Malachy, your blessing. 🙂🙏🏼❤️
Such a beautiful concept: a baby falling whilst trying it's first steps. God bless you both and thank you.
Thank you Fr Malachy for your wisdom and blessings. You will be missed by many but many will be blessed by you on the next part of your journey with Christ. God bless
God bless, Fr. Malachy. We're going to miss you. This topic is really timely and I'm so glad that our Father rejoices when we're trying to focus on him after many distractions. 😍
May God bless you & watch over you in your new posting Fr Malachy. TQ for the many inspired sharings 🙏
God bless you, Fr. Malachy, on your new mission! I have learned so much about our faith from your stories and witness. You will be dearly missed! Every blessing in your work and safe travels. And God bless you and your ministry, Fr. Mark-Mary! I learn so much from your videos, please don't go anywhere just yet! Thank you for all you do. From Fiona in Dublin, Ireland.
God bless you always in all you do Fr Malachy. Your videos of your testimony and your spiritual advice have been inspiring and encouraging. I will pray for your work in Nicaragua and for your safety and protection. Thanks be to God for the gift of your witness and priesthood.
Awww safe travels, Fr. Malachy! Will miss you!! 🙏
May the Lord be with you always Father Malachy! You are such a blessing to all of us and will be missed. I will keep you in my prayers. Safe travels and God bless🙏🏼
Thank you both for sharing your enlightening and uplifting videos! You both are gifts of God's love especially during these dark times we are experiencing. Even at my age, I find myself distracted while praying at times. I love the idea that God is encouraging me in my efforts, just as the loving parent He is!
Father Malachy, may God bless and protect you as your vocation takes you to Nicouragua. May Our Blessed Mother keep her arms around you and keep that smile on your face 🙏
God speed in your travels, Father Malachy. We'll miss you.
Safe journey father Malachy!! Your outlook on all the topics were awesome 👍 may God bless you in all your future adventures
Bon voyage Fr Malachy! 🙏
fr malachy:( will miss you homeslice, one of my favourites
Safe travels Fr. Malachy. We miss you and pray for a safe and productive journey.
God bless you, Fr Malachi! That was a wonderful help to me and I’m immensely moved by your blessing. I’m going to miss you! It has been such a privilege walking beside you through this time leading up to your ordination. May your ministry in Nicaragua be fruitful and may God keep you and your brothers safe. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
We'll miss you Father!! May you see God's light on the path ahead!
May God bless you in Nicaragua, Fr. Malachy! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Prayers for you Father Malachy! Love the videos you both have done!
Thank you Fr. Malachy, your presence has spoken volumes to the power and wonders of Christ. God bless your path in front and behind you on this new season of your life!
Thanks Fr. Malachi🌹 God bless you
I'll tell ya, I find that I'm given the best solutions to problems as I struggle with concentration while saying my Rosary. I'm a business owner so I'm constantly planning and forecasting and dealing with these wierd market conditions, managing growth, investment opportunities, etc... I find that the things my mind keeps going back to will be presented a solution in the midst of that struggle. It's truly an on the spot blessing and what I perceive to be an acknowledgement by the Almighty that He's got the situation well in hand. I mean out of the box, solid, decisive ideas that totally come from outside my line of thought... It is truly wonderful... And absolutely a gift and sign from God...
God bless you all and thank you for all this wonderful help you're passing on from God 🙏😀🌸
Adios, Fr Malachy. I needed your message today. Thanks
Good luck. God bless. Thank you
Godspeed Fr. Malachy.

Prayers for you Father Malachy! 🙏Thank you for the video Father. The suggestion about jotting the thing down and keeping it aside is so simple and yet seems effective. I will do that the next time I am distracted during prayer. Thanks again
God bless your mission, Father Malachi. Father Mark Mary, I continue to pray for your interior journey.
Thanks, Fr. Malachy, and best wishes for good work in Nicaragua.
God bless you Father. You will be missed!
I love Fr. Malachy! He is so down to earth and relatable! I have sent his words to my teenage son. I will greatly miss his thoughts on these video clips. I know he will be a great blessing to the people he will serve in Nicaragua! 🙏❤️
