I’m looking for some stuff to read (preferably online but whatever works) on contemplative prayer, specifically for laymen who are interested in the practice. I’m searching around online and mostly I’m finding anti-Catholic rants who wouldn’t know mysticism if it smacked them upside the head 😛 or Catholics who think centering prayer is contemplative prayer. XP
Is there anything better?
 
Here is a very good little book on mental prayer in general

There are a lot of good works on contemplation…from the various (orthodox Catholic) schools of theology (such as the works of Garrigou-Lagrange etc)…but not knowing what you are looking for…this one above will I think be one you will love…do not let the simplicity of the title throw you off…read the excerpts in the next link…

and this article…frjacquesphilippe.com/testimonials/interview.html
