This handbook is a step-by-step guide for presenting an introductory course on Christian meditation over six sessions. It offers a plan for the course with all the necessary materials for running the course including instructions, templates, and links to online audio recordings. This will help meditators to be confident to speak to small groups from their own experience while feeling supported by a community that is part of a great tradition.
Many people today have a deep spiritual thirst and hunger that in many ways is as urgent as the material needs of developing nations. Unless affluent societies escape the addiction to materialism, they will be unable to feel the depth of compassion from which works of mercy and justice spring. Laurence Freeman teaches a way to spiritual health that is both ancient and new. The desert fathers practiced silent prayer and the church in our own day has rediscovered its liberating power. To sit down before God in silence does more than empty our minds of our own concerns. It opens us to the mystery of life, to seeing thing from God’s perspective rather than our own limited viewpoint, to the power of faith that heals and raises us to love God and our neighbour.
