This most authentic translation is by Clifford Wolters. My companion book for 35 yrs!!

This translation is authentic, clear and is my favorite version translated by Clifford Wolters. This method or approach is the eternal jewel of contemplative communication with God. There are many other translations over the past 35 years I have known about it. Now known as the Centering Prayer, or Contemplative Prayer and is associated w Fr. Thomas Keating. The companion book to this is Open Mind, Open Heart by Fr. Keating. Also a 5 star book on this powerful topic.
