Praying in a State of Mortal Sin

Contrite prayer can be an act of courage, because Lord knows
there’s no harder time to pray than after we know we’ve sinned. In
a way, we’re afraid to approach God. Yet, just as the only way to
overcome our fears is by facing them, the only way to overcome our
sin is by going to God after we sin. In this episode, Fr. Mike
Schmitz explains how God wants a relationship with us and “will
cleanse us from every wrongdoing” to build that relationship.
