by Rt. Rev. Dom Vitalis Lehodey, Abbot of Bricquebec, O.C.R. This book ranks as one of the Churches greatest classics on prayer and was highly recommended as such by Fr. Garrigou-LaGrange, the 20th Century's greatest authority on mystical theology.
Here Dom Lehodey concentrates on the beginning stages of mental prayer up through the prayer of quiet, but also describes the highest forms of prayer as well, including the prayer of union. He explains the advantages and trials of mental prayer, gives practical instructions, what to avoid, how to overcome difficulties.
