My ninth podcast focuses on contemplative prayer as the royal road to personal holiness. This gem of an audio rebroadcast is another episode of the television show Catholic Parents Online. Guests include:

• Fr. Robert Altier of the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis, speaking about contemplation and clearing up some common misconceptions about this form of prayer
• a married woman who speaks about how she discovered contemplative prayer when her daughter began expressing interest in a contemplative vocation with the Carmelites in Lake Elmo, MN
