Struggles in the Spiritual Life
The spiritual life is filled with both joys and struggles. Feelings of dryness in prayer, discouragement, or repeated temptation can leave us wondering if we are failing God. Yet the wisdom of the Church reminds us that these struggles are not signs of abandonment but opportunities for grace.
In this series, Fr. Timothy Gallagher brings Ignatian teaching and pastoral insight to the real challenges of the spiritual life. He explains how to understand struggles with clarity, how to resist discouragement, and how to grow stronger in faith through perseverance.
Listeners will find encouragement in knowing that spiritual struggles are part of the normal journey to holiness, and that God is always present, offering mercy and strength. Through Discerning Hearts Catholic Podcasts, this series provides practical steps and renewed hope for anyone seeking to remain faithful in prayer and to continue walking with Christ despite trials.
