What is interior or "contemplative" prayer?
Contemplative prayer is love, silence, listening, and being in the presence of God. For interior prayer one needs time, resolve, and above all a pure heart. It is the humble, poor devotion of a creature that drops all masks, believes in love, and seeks God from the heart. Interior prayer is often called the prayer of the heart and contemplation.
