Retreat Belmont Abbey 2. From Meditation to the beginning of Mystical Contemplation
The second in a series of talks on Mystical Prayer. Given by David Torkington to members of the laity and the community at Belmont Abbey, Herefordshire, England.<br /> 2. From Meditation to the beginning of Mystical Contemplation<br /> Each morning after his mother’s death, David’s father brought two cups of tea into his bedroom. Sitting on his bed, David’s father told him the story of his love for his mother. It was for David a moving story in which he came to see how marriage is a unique analogy enabling him to understand Mystical Prayer like never before. It is this moving analogy that makes this talk not only profoundly meaningful, but deeply inspiring for everyone who has tried to give themselves to another in selfless love no matter what the cost.<br /> Non nobis Domine, Domine, Non nobis Domine, Sed nomine, sed nomine tuo da gloriam:<br /> Not to us lord, not to us, but to thy name let the glory be given:<br /> <br />

David Torkington reads from The Hermit – Episode 10
<br /> Episode 10 : Learning How to Love<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> James has returned home and begins in earnest, practising his newfound life of prayer. However, we find him writing to Peter when he feels his prayer is floundering. Peter explains through their correspondence, that James is now finding himself on the threshold of contemplative prayer, and he encourages James to persevere and describes how he should proceed. This episode finishes many years later when Peter meets James again, but this time in his home in the New Forest. Peter has been giving lectures in London and James expresses his gratitude for his mentor in prayer, who changed the direction of his life completely.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> This course is being produced as an audio-visual and interactive presentation by <a href="https://www.discerninghearts.com/catholic-podcasts/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Discerning Hearts Podcasts</a> .<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Broadcast on<a href="https://radiomariaengland.uk/new-programme-wisdom-from-the-western-isles-part-one-the-hermit/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Radio Maria England</a><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Listen on Soundcloud<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Listen as MP3 player<br />
