A Guide to Christian Meditation

Faith is kept alive, dynamic, and relevant via daily meditation. It's like watering a garden; it makes your soul more fertile, which in turn improves your quality of life and keeps revealing new vistas on the road to spiritual knowledge. Put your trust in God and let him transform you from the inside out.

One of the Church's greatest prayer leaders, St. Alphonsus Liguori, held that sin could not thrive in the soul of one who practised mental prayer. 'He will either give up meditation,' wrote Alphonsus, 'or renounce sin.'  A deep distaste for sinning against God is only the beginning of the advantages that accrue from even a rudimentary commitment to Christian meditation.

Be ready for an exciting, how-to trip into this tried and true approach whose ultimate goal is closeness with God, the Author not just of life, but also of the life of the mind, with Father John Bartunek as your guide.
