“Prayer always” is inspired by the command to "pray without ceasing" is found in 1 Thessalonians 5:17 and verses 16-18

" 16 Always rejoice.  17 Pray without ceasing.  18 In all things give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you all"

This channel is dedicated to prayer and growth in our relationship with Jesus Christ; as we discover the treasures of the church in the many ancient latin prayers accompanied by scripture readings and reflections.  As a 20+ year catholic convert, I will be learning in real-time along with you as we journey together.  After spending my childhood as a protestant Christian attending United, Pentecostal and non-denominational churches I had no idea that there was a hidden treasure of prayers and devotions that I later discovered after my conversion.

    Jesus' real presence in the Eucharist

    Body, blood, soul and divinity! We explore one of the most ancient teaching that the earlier Christians all understood and believed - that Jesus is really and truly present in the Eucharist. Every single Christian in the first, second and third century knew and believed this - well before Christianity was accepted by the roman emperor. St. Ignatius of Antioch, a disciple of St. John the Apostle, who was alive when the gospels were written and states that the Eucharist it the real body and blood of Christ and all of the earlier church fathers were united on this essential teaching.

    Mary: the Ark of the New Covenant vs. Golden Chest: Ark of the Old Covenant

    To call Mary the Ark is not to exalt her above Christ. It is to recognize that the Incarnation did not happen in abstraction. It happened in her. And in her flesh, the Word did not merely dwell. He tabernacled. Why the Early Church Saw It This is why the early Church Fathers–St. Ambrose, Gregory the Wonderworker, and John Damascene–saw Mary as the new Ark. It was not a title of sentiment. It was a declaration of theological fact. Sources: https://www.catholic365.com/article/51313/why-mary-is-the-ark-of-the-new-covenant.html
