Difficulties in Mental Prayer

David and Adam discuss Dom Eugene Boylan's book, Difficulties in Mental Prayer

It can be difficult to pray, but it is even more difficult not to pray. In this book, Dom Eugene explains what prayer really is, why it is necessary for everyone and how anyone can become proficient in it. Without using complicated language, he introduces readers to the main stages of the development of prayer and the spiritual life. He answers popular misconceptions regarding prayer, and teaches all not to be afraid of speaking to God using their own heartfelt words. He shows how even simple mental prayer can lead to the heights of mystical union with God. Download our prayer guide we put together with Exodus 9o.
