What's the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the words "contemplative prayer?"

Maybe you think of a great mystic, like St. John of the Cross or St. Teresa of Avila.

Maybe you picture cloistered nuns praying to their beloved Spouse around the clock in their convent.

Or (if you're like most people) maybe what comes to mind is...not much at all.

Because contemplative prayer is actually really, really hard to define.

That's why, when I had spiritual expert Father Donald Haggerty on the Art of Catholic podcast, I asked him to define contemplation.

And I got a very interesting answer.
