  1. Deacon Gary Harmeyer, Virginia Beach, VA, USA

    *

    It was easy to relate to the presenter. She shared her struggles, didn’t have all the answers, but has remained faithful throughout her various struggles.

  2. Manfredi

    You can’t get better that that!

    Sr. Hermes’ Contemplative Prayer course is so thorough and provides so many examples that in my opinion it’s the definitive course on the subject. You can’t get better than that!

  3. Anonymous

    A different approach.

    Sr. Hermes uses a different approach in “Contemplative Prayer”. She has you analyze your feelings to determine what might be holding you back from loving God as you should.

  4. Sr. Carolyn

    Good meditation

    I am very please with this series I found it very helpful for my mediations.

  5. Timothy G., CA

    Winter Survey: January 2017

    Sr. Kathleen’s voice is a delight to listen to. She drew me into each of the contemplative prayer methods. I got a better feel for what contemplative method might work best for me. Her stories about her life experiences are very moving and helpful to prayer.

  6. Tim G., CA

    Spring Survey: April 2017

    Sr. Kathryn introduces 4 methods of contemplative prayer with excellent examples and stories. She has a beautiful voice that draws me into contemplative silence. She displays excellent and gentile technique with each method. I am very grateful for her kind manner as I approach God and appreciate her loving sense of how God is with us.

  7. Timothy G., CA

    Summer Survey: July 2017

    Sr. Kathryn has a beautiful voice to listen to. She leads the listener through several types of contemplation. She tells stories, all of the personal that make her point powerfully. Her guided meditations lead me to feel a spiritual depth that I appreciated very much.
