It was easy to relate to the presenter. She shared her struggles, didn’t have all the answers, but has remained faithful throughout her various struggles.

A different approach.
Sr. Hermes uses a different approach in “Contemplative Prayer”. She has you analyze your feelings to determine what might be holding you back from loving God as you should.

Sr. Kathleen’s voice is a delight to listen to. She drew me into each of the contemplative prayer methods. I got a better feel for what contemplative method might work best for me. Her stories about her life experiences are very moving and helpful to prayer.
