William Joseph Chaminade: Writings on Mental Prayer
Edited by Raymond Halter, SM
509 pp.
This volume is a collection of original texts on mental prayer from the letters, writings on prayer, and talks and retreats given by William Joseph Chaminade; therefore, the language is from the 19th century. Father Chaminade believed the religious habit was to be interior, developed through the prayer of faith. "We must be the image of Jesus Christ," he said. "His actions must be the model of ours. To make a copy, one must first cast one's eyes upon the original." This is the goal of the prayer of faith.
