Praying with Scripture: Christian Contemplation and Meditation
with Fr. Timothy Gallagher
a 7 Episode Podcast Series
Ignatian meditation and contemplation
Prayer is the place where we encounter God. In this series, Fr. Timothy Gallagher explains Ignatian meditation and contemplation, two forms of prayer that help us listen to Scripture, engage our hearts, and meet the Lord in a personal way.
Drawing from St. Ignatius’ Spiritual Exercises, Fr. Gallagher offers clear teaching on how to meditate with Scripture and enter contemplative prayer. This series is a practical guide for Catholics who desire a deeper life of prayer and a living encounter with Christ through the Word of God.
