Extracted from the "Summa Theologica," this book explores prayer, devotion, and the contemplative life. Beginning with the idea that mysticism is important in a world focused on science, the text uses Saint Thomas Aquinas' teachings on religion and prayer to lead believers toward a meaningful relationship with God. It stresses the importance of learning from saints and mystics while cautioning against the risks of misunderstood mystical practices, providing a foundation for a detailed investigation into prayer and contemplation that encourages readers to enrich their spiritual lives.
