"Learning to meditate is the most practical thing in the world. You require only one quality when you begin. That is seriously to want to learn to mediate."The central message of the New Testament is that there is really only one prayer and that this prayer is the prayer of Christ. It is a prayer that continues in our heart day and night. John Main describes this prayer as the stream of love that flows constantly between Jesus and his Father. This stream of love is the Holy SpiritIt is John Main's conviction that is it the most important task for any fully human life that we should become as open as possible to this stream of love. In order for us to do this we must learn a way that is a way of silence - of stillness - and this by a discipline that is most demanding.John Main talks about the many aspects of silent prayer: the way of the mantra, leaving distraction behind, fullness of life in love and silence. A striking feature of the book is its emphasis on simplicity, on transcending self-consciousness and moving beyond "techniques" of prayer.

This collection of talks on Christian meditation is full of practical advice and great spiritual insights in equal measure. It shows how discovering the presence of Christ within through meditative prayer can give shape and purpose to everything we do and are: our actions, emotions, fears, longings, failings and dreams. As John Main taught, the point of this kind of prayer is to allow God''s presence to become not just a reality, but the reality of our lives.

Much of today's fascination with and attraction to the Rule of St. Benedict can be attributed to John Main, a Benedictine monk, who first saw that this rule of life for monastic communities could be relevant for Christian living in the secular world. He founded a community of lay people who shared his vision and from this small beginning has grown. The World Community for Christian Meditation which today is active in numerous countries around the world and has thousands of members and associates. Its work, and its emphasis on meditation, derives directly from the Benedictine focus on prayer and lectio divina or holy reading. Right up to the end of his life in 1982, John Main wrote a series of remarkable letters of spiritual direction to WCCM's growing family. Two collections have previously been published and are now out of print and the complete letters are now published in this single volume. Together they constitute a volume of remarkable spiritual wisdom and insight, as fresh and relevant for today as when they were first written.

Este libro ya clásico recoge una selección de enseñanzas llenas de fuerza, transmitidas por John Main a los grupos de meditación de Montreal durante los últimos años de su vida. La charla solía tratar sobre algún pasaje de la Escritura y luego él lo relacionaba con los desafíos de la práctica de la meditación en la cultura moderna. Tras un breve intervalo musical, el grupo meditaba durante una media hora, cumpliendo así con el propósito esencial de la reunión. El encuentro concluía con algo más de música y después se abría una sesión de preguntas y discusión.John Main nunca hablaba sobre la meditación sin ofrecer al mismo tiempo la oportunidad de experimentarla. Él creía, como el monje del desierto Juan Casiano en el siglo v -su fuente de inspiración-, que magistra experientia, "la experiencia es la maestra". Abrirse a esta experiencia es comprender el mensaje de estas páginas.
