What is it like to come close to the presence of God?
A talk by Fr. Paul Murray, O.P. (part II)

MP3 1
Listen above to the second part of Father Paul Murray's address to the members of the House of Lords on Contemplation. Vatican Radio aired the three-part radio adaptation on April 8, 2011. In the first part, Fr. Murray speaks not of politics but of contemplation as an essential ingredient in Christian tradition. The event organized by the Royal Fine Art Commission Trust, in conjunction with Sky Television that filmed it, marked an historic moment: never before had a Dominican Friar delivered a talk in the House of Lords.
Paul Murray O.P. is an Irish Dominican, a poet, and a professor in Rome at the University of St. Thomas, the Angelicum. He is the author of several books which have been published in the English-speaking world, including: The New Wine of Dominican Spirituality: A Drink Called Happiness; I Loved Jesus in the Night: Teresa of Calcutta-A Secret Revealed; and A Journey with Jonah: The Spirituality of Bewilderment. He lives in Rome, and is well known as a speaker throughout the United States.
