Segment 1 – Intro and News

Segment 2, 3, 4 – Saint John of the Cross: Master of Contemplation
“Saint John of the Cross is the Church’s premier teacher on contemplative prayer. Catholic tradition even calls him the Mystical Doctor. The sixteenth-century Carmelite priest not only wrote four massive treatises on the spiritual life, along with some of the finest poetry in the Spanish language, but also worked alongside Teresa of Ávila in renewing the Carmelite order. Thérèse of Lisieux claimed she found no other spiritual reading that could satisfy her soul like John of the Cross.” (Originally aired June 20, 2022)

Father Donald Haggerty, a priest of the Archdiocese of New York, serves at Saint Patrick’s Cathedral. He taught moral theology and worked as a spiritual director in seminaries for twenty years. He has directed numerous yearly retreats for the Missionaries of Charity.
