I was blessed last night when I fell asleep while listening to this but, hear me out. My guardian angel wasn’t having it and woke me up at 24 minutes. WOW. I immediately downloaded loaded the app and ordered the book. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[@evelynbaldwin3212]

please have this wonderful man on the podcast again!

[@mairihaggerty5825]

Sanity at last! Thank-you both! Time long overdue to ditch all those often crazy and unfounded prognostications and promotion of supposed saintly individuals of which the airwaves are now overflowing. We must get back to basics. David Torkington is wonderful, orthodox and wise. Check out Essentialist Press- many talks on prayer by David there.

Just listened to your interview with David Torkington mystical theologian - wonderful, described spiritual mystical contemplation so well; we are inclined to think that this shud be easy leading us to a beautiful feeling of peace forgetting its "hard work" in a way of sacrifice of attempting to get thro the narrow door on to the narrow path of forgetting about ourselves & focusing on God; but we don't want the hard slog we want things to be easy & so we miss out big time & times passes & we get older & then don't hav the energy; so we waste a lot of valuable time. As you were both saying NOW is the time! Re Medj messages how many times ww hear: " the messages are always saying the same thing" now I can see why! Can't believe the first 3 yrs of msg were about catechesis; my goodness we hav been blind for so long; as for Quietism - yes thats encouraged - just sitting there with the Lord at adoration without active prayer - is that it? - I do that!! As u say Robert we so need a very sound mentor. Thank you. Pat

People who are sincerely praying are sincerely working. People say they pray all the time. I often wonder are they. The Fruits are not there

[@leonaheraty3760]

This is inspirational and fascinating. Thank you for sharing! 😊

[@janeallen9543]

This is beautiful and i have started to look into contemplation and have been watching guided meditations by radio immaculata i will most definately go to the link....i believe this came up as a recommendation guided by the Holy Spirit thank you and God bless you both for this. 🙏

[@gsullivan3262]

St. Paul's "understanding" of Christ (a contemplative one) is the earliest we have of a darkness to light experience; one of your finest interviews!

[@LoantakaBrook]

That was fantastic! Please have David on again.

[@388Caroline]

Thank you so much for this wonderful interview, Robert 🙏

[@peterbarry3812]

Thank you Robert, David spoke beautifully and he captured exactly what we need to do right now such a perfect message delivered with such simplicity thank you both so much.

[@heidiw2458]

[@francespetrie2304]

My soul has just been watered thank you with all my heart.

[@followerofchristofthetrini1692]

Thank you so much for this beautiful video, Robert. And thank you David.

[@marygr8064]

Thanks for having David on your podcast. I have watched his video series and have learned much from his teachings. God bless.

[@paddyearly]

Beautiful soul helping people to deepen their relationship with God🙏 As I have said many times but repeat again anyone who is serious about prayer and work needs to be a member of Our Lady’s army the Legion of Mary🙏 There is no other prayer group that can touch its excellence because by combining mission with prayer under the direction of Our Lady you automatically deepen your union with the whole mystical body of Christ🙏 Our Lady set up this army in the aftermath of the Fatima apparition and Servant of God Frank Duff was her powerful ally and General. But it is Our Lady’s army and she is calling all of us to join🙏

[@MrCrouchback]

Wow... David Torkington.... we'll done for getting him

[@christygarcia4843]

A priest at our parish was teaching quietism a few years ago. I didn’t know what it was called, but I recognized it as dangerous. Pray for Paul, who has left the priesthood and returned to secular life.

[@pierresangeorg2286]

Amazing. This is the real evangelization.❤

[@yuranagumenyuk5872]

Praised be Jesus Christ! Dear Robert, thank you for this interview with Mr. Torkington! God bless you and your family. O.A.M.D.G.

[@mojophe1617]

Very profound and inspirational.❤️

[@MegaESSBEE]

No accident then that Our Blessed Mother exhorts us to pray the Holy Rosary every day as it trains us to attain all the necessary skills and disciplines you talk about.

[@LindaChojnowski]

Thank you David, this was truly excellent; I shared this with so many people.

[@bradyandjodi1]

I’m so grateful you had him on, thank you!! I had watched him when he was on with Eric Sammons, and began watching the series, but forgot about it and got busy with other things. I’ll begin again. May God help us all to enter that deep union in prayer with our Lord.

[@naty2530]

This is soooo beautifully deep. So very much apprecieate to learn from this man. A HUGE THANK YOU for having him on. Alleluia.

[@Antoinette-sh3cq]

[@helengrant6288]

[@3172bees]

Just read “Fire Within” and excellent book

[@maryferrari-espressopressd7921]

Great video, thanks for the link. I began listening on Essentialist Press.

[@ourtrafficbiz]

Love David Torkington!

[@MrJawaking]

Fantastic interview. Thank you so much for this! I'll be checking out his other works.

[@lindaismail4811]

Yes and there lies the mysteries (the true and Truth revealed)

[@veehope2702]

Such incredible wisdom. Thank you.

[@lorraineklimek1677]

My goodness, what a wonderful lesson. Thank you Robert for bringing this amazing man to our attention. I have been struggling and feeling lost, but now I see a path forward.

[@sheiladumigan451]

Absolutely beautiful 🙏❤️

[@MarjorieBurns-gu9tf]

Powerful talk!!! Thank you!!!

[@swashyhimself]

Excellent. From my own reading I came to learn about the holy Spaniards. The saints expound so much

[@stephengenockey6342]

Most important video you have done.

[@simonewilliams7224]

Why is the Holy Spirit mostly ignored as the Breath of God. He was there at creation also and stays with us now. I do get thoughts from Him immediately after prayer, little things for others in my life or t for those who touch me.

[@eatsomeseaweed9760]

Ppl aren’t listening when they rush prayer during service. Just rattling off the words.

[@sheiladumigan451]

Jesus Jesus Jesus 🙏❤️

[@followerofchristofthetrini1692]

Our Lady of Cuapa: (paraphrasing) do not build me a temple or a shrine. Your bodies are the temples of the Holy Spirit. Pray the Rosary, and do it with devotion with much contemplation, and at a set time each day in community/the family. Do not ask for peace, we are to make peace.

[@Kjt853]

Old translations of the Bible render the end of Luke 17:21 “the kingdom of God is within you” (interior, contemplative); modern translations render it “the kingdom of God is among you” (exterior, nonreflective). I honestly think that the change in translation (as well as emphasis) reflects the contemporary mistrust of mysticism.

[@dankmatter3068]

His voice is contemplative

[@Antoinette-sh3cq]

This spirituality of sacrificial love is the same as the spirituality of Living in the Divine Will, that Jesus teaches us in The Book of Heaven.

[@marybaer4660]

I STARTED READING ITS WAS PERVERSE AND ITS NOT FROM GOD. PERIOD JESUS WOULDNT DO THOSE THINGS. THE BOOK PUTS HER ON THE LEVEL OF BLESSED MOTHER. ITS DEMONIC AND A CULT

[@TheGringoSalado]

46:09 same thing happened with education. They will never appreciate or understand the classics. Make them specialists so that they might have a lot of money, there they will find happiness. How did that work out?!

[@marycoggins8920]

Wow

[@liammcmillen100]

Robert where’s the link for this man’s talks on contemplation?

I can't even wait until this interview is over. I'm heading to Mr David's website. Compelling is the word that comes to mind, compelling!

[@benjaminlquinlan8702]

Mystikos is the way

[@willpeony5534]

Medjugorje could be part of the problem. I believe so. Any Medjugorje people I know don't see my point, I always say it's like pawns in the game. You can sacrifice in the short game when you're playing the long game.

[@marybaer4660]

Mejigori is really. PERIOD
