    • Can anyone recommend a book that helps one to contemplate properly? 

    Thanks

    • The Ascent of Mount Carmel by St. John of the Cross
    The Ways of Mental Prayer by Rt. Rev. Dom Vitalis Lehodey
    The Interior Castle by St. Teresa of Avila

    These will give you the right idea of how to prepare yourself for contemplation, aiming at Divine Union beyond that (a gift of God). Praying the Rosary attentively is also a very easy way to contemplate.

    • Funny, I was just listening to this sermon on the subject last night. It's not a book but well worth hearing.
