About this episode

This episode discusses principles and guidance for living the interior life and mental prayer based on Dom Chautard's work.

"Even if I have long neglected it, Jesus calls me tenderly to mental prayer, and offers me special help in speaking this language of faith, hope, and love ... Am I going to resist this appeal of a Father Who calls even the prodigal to come and listen to His word, to talk to Him as a son; to open his heart to Him and to listen to the beatings of His own? " Part Five of the classic work by the French Trappist monk, Dom Jean-Baptiste Chautard (1858-1935), begins with practical principles for living the interior life and concrete guidance on mental prayer. In addition, Dom Chautard provides ten aids to mental prayer in the included appendix. Episode 6: Part Five ( sections 1 - 2) & Appendix 00:00 - Intro 00:39 - 1.
