Facing Distraction: Peter Flies' Take on Modern Challenges
The mind provides ample distraction alone.Try not to follow the distraction, but stay put in the moment. To set about hunting down distractions would be to fall into their trap, when all that is necessary is to turn back to our heart, for a distraction reveals to us what we are attached to, and this humble awareness before the lord should awaken our preferential love for him and lead us resolutely to offer him our heart to be purified.
In a world where distractions are just a click away, Peter Flies dives deep into the struggles we face in the 21st century in this episode of 'Why Did Peter Sink?'.
