The more we come to know the divine Jesus, the easier it is to give up things and people to which we become attached. If we are addicted to things (food, TV, computer, phone, etc.) or people, we fail to advance in the spiritual life. Prayer is needed to detach ourselves from self-indulgence in disordinate pleasures. This booklet helps us to understand how these prevent us from drawing closer to our jealous God who wants all of us.
