Beskrivning
'Those who want to save their life will lose it; and those who lose their life for my sake will find it' (Matthew 16.25). We often associate Lent with 'giving something up', but it is also a good time to begin or to deepen the practice of meditation.Through this ascetic discipline, we enter into the tradition of the Desert Fathers and, as we learn to nurture the silence within, come to experience joy and well-being in every area of our lives.This book is a practical introduction and guide to Christian meditation as taught by Fr John Main and continued through the World Community for Christian Meditation (WCCM).It contains meditation instructions, guidance and support as well as 46 enriching daily reflections on the Gospels, highlighting an aspect of their meaning and their continued relevance for modern living.

Recensioner i media

In Sensing God, Laurence Freeman takes us through the difficult desert days of Lent with extraordinary clarity and depth . . . For me as an artist, Laurence’s teaching on Christian meditation has given me a daily practice and with it has come about a change in perception and my studio work. It has helped me to embrace the intimacy and emptiness of silence that I find so important. On Holy Thursday he says, "We will not be able to touch reality unless we allow it to touch us." Much of the creative endeavour is about that touch, and the journey of meditation leads us towards it.
