CHRISTIAN MEDITATION
GROUP
This form of silent,
imageless prayer using a mantra or prayer word is
rooted in the Gospel, the letters of St. Paul and
originated with the early Desert Fathers of the
4th century. A Benedictine monk, Father John Main
(1926-1982) rediscovered this ancient prayer
tradition for contemporary men and women.
Newcomers are welcomed
to the group. You do not have to know how to
meditate.
It is very simple and
instruction will be given. The one hour meeting
includes quiet music, a short talk on meditation,
20 minutes of silent meditation, and begins and
ends with prayer. You may come to any or all as
you are available.
