Mental Prayer and Holy Imagination

This page contains links to an audio/video series by Fr. Dave Nix on how to practice mental prayer in the tradition of the Church. The first three segments are an introduction and the following episodes are shorter dives into the beauty of Scripture using the method of the saints. Do not skip the second video… Enjoy! (Slowly adding all links as I have time)


All sins are committed because we do not think of God as very present but as very far off.”
— St. Teresa of Avila
