What St. Alphonsus Teaches on Mental Prayer

Prayer: Chapter 11.6: What St. Alphonsus Teaches on Mental Prayer "St. Alphonsus, declared Doctor of the Church on account of his many learned works, in which the Church found nothing deserving of blame, wrote among others the best, the most practical book on Prayer, and it was his ardent desire to supply, had it been in his power, every man on earth with a copy, on account of the absolute necessity of the prayer of petition for the graces of salvation. Let us now consider the principal points of his teaching on mental prayer. "Prayer," he says, "is absolutely necessary for our salvation, and mental prayer is necessary to pray well. Without mental prayer we can have no supernatural light concern ing God, the eternal truths, the mysteries of faith, the virtues and vices, the vanity of earthly goods, honors and pleasures, and the grandeur and excel lence of the spiritual and heavenly goods." Please remember to pray for all who made these information (meditations, sermons, audio) available to you. Source: "Prayer: Its Necessity, Its Power, Its Conditions" by Fr.
