Christian Meditation Prayer Group

Thursday evenings at 6:30pm in the St. Anne Room
What is as old as Christianity, brings joy and peace to those who practice it, and is the “best kept secret” in the Church today?  The answer is Christian Meditation.

In an age of rush, noise and distraction, it is essential that we find time to be still and quiet.  “Be still and know that I am God,” says the Psalmist.  In this prayer of silence called Christian Meditation, we find God who dwells within our hearts.  And in finding Him, we find also our true selves, and thus, are renewed. Christian Meditation is the natural progression of a prayer life towards a deeper experience of God.
 
Christian Meditation may be practiced by anyone, of any age, wherever you are on your life’s journey.  It requires the elements of silence, stillness and simplicity.  Silence means letting go of thoughts.  Stillness means letting go of desire.  Simplicity means letting go of self-analysis.
 
At St. Laurence, the Christian Meditation Prayer Group gathers weekly in the beautiful St. Anne Room at the Ave Maria Center at 6:30pm each Thursday.  Come when you can.  There is no charge and no experience is required.  All are welcome.
