### Fr Rip Notes
|
|
- aristotle: once we develop good habits, the moral life becomes easier
|
|
- after the fall, we want to do with our time whatever we please (at whim); we don't want to tie up our free time.
|
|
- something in the morning, something in the middle, something in the evening
|
|
- some meditation
|
|
- spiritual reading (can be even 5 mins)
|
|
- recollection is the segway into contemplation; extremely difficult to enter the transforming union without recollection
|
|
- reasons fervor advances then pans out
|
|
- dissipation; get distracted by worldly things
|
|
- inconsistency in prayer life
|
|
- What are you going to do to root out your defects?
|
|
- This should be systematic
|
|
- The building of virtue - perfecting specific virtues (pick one and work on it)
|
|
- If you don't have regimen you'll never get there
|
|
##### Qs - not related
|
|
- Vows can be temporary and conditional
|
|
- Should be done solemnly - in front of a priest/tabernacle
|
|
- Use vows to develop rather than avoid
|
|
- Families should pray together 15-30 mins ideally
|
|
- Goal is self-sufficient spirituality by age of 18
|
|
- Daycares as traumatic (why can't they empathize with people?)
|
|
- The mother can direct the child in the right direction
|
