0:00.0	Hi, I'm Edward Sree and welcome to all things Catholic where real faith meets real life.
0:14.0	This last summer I took my kids on family vacation to the ocean.
0:17.7	We went to the beach and they had so much fun and as a dad it's really fun to watch the
0:21.6	different ages and what they like to do at the beach like my little kids, the little girls

1:17.9	And I want to be clear, it's not really esoteric and complex, ordinary Christians have used
1:22.5	meditation for centuries and you can use it too.
1:26.0	But a lot of Catholics aren't aware of this kind of prayer and I want to give a spotlight
