Find half an hour to listen to God, and learn to listen with the ear of the heart. Busyness and noise have become so much apart of our lives that many of us are uncomfortable with periods of stillness. Eliminating activities and noise is an essential way to remove the clutter and hush the rush so we can focus, rest and relax. Then we'll be prepared, from within our inner selves, to a sense the divine presence.
Meditation is a universal tradition found in all the great religions. Many Christians have been helped to recover contact with their own tradition of meditation, or contemplative prayer, because of the work of Fr. John Main, who is the inspiration of the World Community. His teaching of ancient tradition of prayer is rooted in the Gospels and the early Christian monastic tradition of the Desert. Jesus got away from activities and noise to enjoy some stillness and silence with God. "Come a part lest you come apart." (come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest: Mark 6:31) Join us:
