The all important aim in Christian Meditation is to allow God’s mysterious presence within us to become more and more not only a reality,

but the reality which gives meaning, share and purpose
to everything we do, to everything we are . . .

  John Main, OSB

Set out on the journey with your fellow parishioners as we use meditation as a tool

to deepen our pilgrimage with Christ.

The Simple Teaching of Christian Meditation:
How to Meditate

From the World Community for Christian Meditation

Sit down. Sit still and upright. Close your eyes lightly. Sit relaxed but alert. Breathe calmly and regularly. Silently, interiorly begin to say a single word. We recommend the prayer-phrase MA-RA-NA-THA. Recite it as our syllables of equal length. Listen to it as you say it, gently but continuously. Do not think or imagine anything— spiritual or otherwise. If thoughts and images come, these are distractions at the time of meditation , so keep returning to simply saying the word. Meditate each morning and evening for between twenty and thirty minutes.

*“Maranatha” is Aramaic for “Come, Lord Jesus”
