PART EIGHT: Soul Tending
In this episode of St.Aub, we explore one of the deepest invitations of the Christian life: becoming a person of continual prayer. Prayer is more than bringing requests to God or setting aside a few quiet moments each day. It is learning to live with an ongoing awareness of God's presence, allowing every part of life to become a conversation with Him.
Drawing from Scripture, the Desert Fathers, the Jesus Prayer, and the wisdom of Eastern Orthodox spirituality, St.Aub reflects on practical ways to cultivate a life of unceasing prayer. Through liturgical prayers, the Psalms, hymns, Scripture, intercessory prayer, contemplative silence, and the Jesus Prayer, we learn to carry the presence of God with us wherever we go.
This episode invites you to rethink what prayer really is. Rather than seeing it as another spiritual task to complete, imagine prayer becoming as natural as breathing—a continual posture of attentiveness, companionship, and communion with God. Over time, prayer moves from something we practice to something we become.
If this reflection resonated with you, consider subscribing and returning as we continue exploring the Godward path together. You’re always welcome here. And if you think of someone who might need this, feel free to share it.
Topics in this video include unceasing prayer, the Jesus Prayer, contemplative prayer, Christian prayer, Eastern Orthodox spirituality, spiritual disciplines, the Desert Fathers, and the Godward life.
