Less Can Be More: When Subtracting Adds to Your Prayer

Father Barton T. Geger, S.J., suggests that seeking to give God more glory can be achieved by choosing the path that brings more souls to heaven. Writing for Catholic Exchange, Angie Allen explains that while modern culture focuses on an abundance of noise, media, and material goods, the Jesuit concept of Magis refers to a deeper spiritual abundance.

This approach to the Magis involves living more fully in the presence of God to accomplish His will. Rather than simply adding more activities, Geger proposes using the question of which choice best serves God's glory and the salvation of others as a framework for making important decisions.
