Synopsis

Catholic prayer has an image problem. In the modern quest for spirituality rather than religion, Eastern forms of prayer are promoted as rare and exotic while Catholic prayer is presented as dull and old-fashioned. Nothing could be further from the truth. When one understands the full breadth of Catholic prayer as taught by St. Teresa of Avila in her famous “Four Waters of Prayer” one realizes that authentic Catholic prayer is a supernatural adventure, a lifelong journey into the very heart of God. It includes everything from vocal and mental prayer to the mystical experiences of infused contemplation and transforming union. This book, which can be used for private or group study, explores how to deal with distractions and dryness in prayer, how to discern the voice of God and how to recognize the signs of advancing prayer. Pray Like a Catholic presents the Catholic contemplative tradition in all of its glory!
