Prayer is an art that cannot just be taught. It must be experienced, lived, and practiced. In his talks, Father Cyprian will draw on his experience as a Camaldolese Benedictine monk to give us an accessible reflection on prayer that is based on Father Bede Griffith's "universal call to contemplation." In his teaching, the contemplative traditions of East and West intersect to invite readers into prayer that makes them present to the Spirit who is already present to us.
