Each morning after his mother's death, David's father brought tea into his bedroom. Sitting on his bed, David's father told him of his love for his mother
In your talk on “tea with your father”, you managed to explain more than St John of the Cross and Theresa of Avila did in all their books!! Thank you!!!
Mary,
What can I say!
Thank you
David
Thank you David – thank you about God who is continually loving
Bless you, Anneli

Excellent food for the soul! Very helpful .
Looking forward to more of the series.
Thank you Mandy. God bless you
I very much look forward to more of your podcasts.
Thank you Martha,
I am just preparing the talk given on that retreat.
Thank you very much, this is so thorougly. Reminded me of great thruths of mysthical theology I have recently read in your new book.Since then I have been praying morning prayer with your prayers guide ( Our Father). My relationship with God got deepened and for first time I have started to meditate on Gospel.I am in monastery in Croatia but lately in crisis. Nobody in monastery taught us how to pray personal prayer and there is hardly ever time for personal prayer and meditation. Just keep on I am looking forward to hear rest of your talks…God bless you, sister Benedikta
I first realised myself when running a retreat centre and meeting religious, that personal prayer and meditation was not being taught in religious life, nor was time given for personal prayer. I am preparing the rest of my retreat and hope the talks will be ready soon and helpful to you in your journey in prayer.
God bless you and give you peace Sr Benedikta.
David
