The AI gave advisc to Moms about Spiritual Wellbeing. Here’s what it said + my take.
AI SAID TO MOMS:
1. Greet Jesus first.
Start your day with a whisper: “Walk with me, Lord.”
2. Pray while you work.
Offer each chore as a prayer of love.
3. Let go of guilt.
Confess. Forgive. Breathe again.
4. Honor Sundays.
Go to Mass. It’s your soul’s refill day.
My Take on this Spiritual Advice (Talking to Christians here – using the peg that AI used above)
1. This is a start. But
✅ to give proper justice to God…
✅ to live a full day
✅ to not live like a "poor" (winkwink) Christian…
Give prayer+spiritual books+bible+silence – 15minutes minimum per day.
"But I don’t have 15 minutes!" –is an excuse you have relied on for a long time.
"This is why you fail.", sabi ni Yoda.
You would think the 15 minute is for God right?
Yes you are right. But it’s also for you.
2. Pray while you work is possible if you have a lot of memorized prayers.
You can do a continuous "Hail Mary" when doing manual tasks.
I wake up to this – repeatedly.
If doing mental tasks – like budgetting –
You can turn on some
✅Gregorian chant,
✅Latin songs (Salve Regina, not Selena or Despacito)
✅Canto Catolico (all their songs are pretty, mom!).
They’re not in english so your brain will NOT be busy interpreting them. You can still compute and think.
This is just level 1. To make every effort at prayer, start with the sign of the cross and ask for grace to make it happen. It will take decades to develop this. Most will not.
3. To let go of guilt – you’ll need to do a good confession vs a bad confession.
Your first job is to know the difference.
Most American (hence AI content) think Catholics are all about the guilt. This is popculture nonsense.
We’re all about the
✅ the agape love
✅ the latria worship (I’m sure I got that mixed up).
We crave unity with God – hence we want to confess so we’re in the state of grace. "Not being guilty" is NOT the goal. Unity is the goal.
Whoever said "Catholic guilt" is because they continue to commit the same sins even after confessing them for many years.
Now you know what a bad confession is.
4. Go to Mass. Sunday is not a refill day.
Many people and AI think that "Sunday is for me to get ‘recharged’, sit back and relax.
However, every day God pours – not drips – graces.
You may just be too busy to notice.
Going to mass is not a refill. It’s justice to God.
Why? "Giving God what is Due To God. = worship"
Mass is the official worship a CATHOLIC can do.
You can say "This song I composed is my worship." Words are cheap. Feast Worship.
But the book called "The Cathechism of the Catholic Church" doesn’t say anything can be worship.
Only the offering of Jesus in the mass is worship. All others are "not worship". Devotion, offering, etc but not worship.
If you’re a Catholic Mom, make sure the kids understand this.
And that’s AI vs my take.
It’s your turn to INCREASE!
