Difficulties in Mental Prayer

EBook Description: Catholic. THERE is a process used for printing pictures in color which involves the making of separate blocks for each elementary component color in the picture. The prints from each of these blocks are superimposed on each other, and if the relative strength of each color is correct, the result is quite natural. If, however, any one shade is too weak, then there is a corresponding defect in final rendering of the true color, which might perhaps be corrected by an extra printing of the weak component.Now, the purpose of these pages is something like that of the extra printing. It is not that the standard presentation of mental prayer is defective, but it would seem that the impression of mental prayer that many souls have received needs to be strengthened in certain 'colors.' That purpose explains the irregular extent of treatment which the reader will notice in these pages. The subject of methodical meditation is only outlined, as there are more than enough excellent books dealing with it in great detail. Besides, the souls for whom this book is primarily intended are those who cannot succeed with the usual methods of meditation, as well as those who once were able to meditate but now find that it has become an impossibility to do so.

Catholic. IntroductionThe very title of this book is a challenge. Has there ever been an age more loquacious than ours, one more extroverted, one more concerned with the surface of things? Facing the issue squarely, this book deals with silence, with that inner silence of the soul which the Psalmist has in mind where he says that we should 'listen to what the Lord God will say' (Ps 84: 9).The inner life is the theme of this book. It deals with its very essence. Archabbot Benedict Baur shows the way to his readers on the strength of a life-long experience. As the head of one of the most renowned Benedictine communities of Europe, as an ascetic writer, scholar, and educator, and particularly as a retreat master, he has long won an international following. There could be no safer guide for those who wish to penetrate more deeply into the mysteries of divine revelation, so as to master the confusion of a progress-mad civilization.

What is a Druid?

A reporter asked me to comment for a story he was working on asked me for an one-sentence definition of a Druid. Knowing fully well that such definitions are the sort of thing that divides and conquers celtic pagan communities, I ventured one anyway. Here's what I told him.
