Ken Boa explains that followers of the contemplative approach make the love of God their supreme and unrivaled object. This hunger and thirst for righteousness is the soul’s love affair with its summum bonum, the highest good for which it was created. Contemplative prayer invites the mind to descend into the heart, nourishes the interior life, and causes a luminous serenity.

This is part 6 of a teaching series based on Facet 6 of Ken Boa’s best-selling spiritual formation text, Conformed to His Image. This video focuses on material from chapter 14 (starting on p. 165), entitled “The Contemplative Way.”
