Краткое описание:
The Spanish mystic St. Peter de Alcántara is known as the patron saint of night watchmen, as well as the patron saint of Brazil.
In A Golden Treatise of Mental Prayer, we’re treated to a glimpse into the fascinating life of this remarkable Saint who, while in prayer and contemplation, was reported to have been seen levitating and was known to perform miracles.
We’re also introduced to his methods of contemplative prayer and his teachings. Preferring to preach to the poor, Peter drew much of the inspiration for his teachings from the Old Testament, and his focus was almost always on the topic of compassion.
