Overcoming Attachment To Comfort - The Inner Life - July 28, 2026

The Inner Life

On today’s show, Fr. Chris Walsh j­oins to present overcoming attachment to comfort.     * Can Convenience become something we are too attached too?   * Greg - When would a person discern?    * Break 1   * Email – Robert – I think comfort is connected with safety.   * Liz - I've experienced this with AC this summer. We don't have it and have been able to deal with it.   * Charles -Without a car it's difficult, and I've been without a car for some time. I'm in the best physical shape of my life because I'm walking everywhere! But...I can't help people as much.   * Break 2   * Email - Connie – I used to get hangry but since becoming Catholic God has helped me overcome this through prayer and fasting.   * Tina - I lost my son. I got too attached to him. Now that he's gone, people say, 'Oh, God is with him.' How do you overcome that? I feel like since I lost him, I can't get attached to anything else. I loved him more than anything.   * Email – Mary: It helps me to imagine Jesus on the Cross and my little inconveniences suddenly become bearable.
