realize our potential to enter into fullness of life, fullness of love,
and fullness of wisdom. The practice of meditation is quite simple, but
it requires discipline in repeating a mantra again and again. Once rooted, it flourishes |

Reading the New Testament with John Main

Price $9.95
Status: In Stock

After his death in 1982, John Main's personal copy of the New Testament was found to have many passages marked by him. He had highlighted words of inspiration that he used as the basis of his own teaching on meditation.
These passages nourished his insight into the Christian meaning of meditation as wordless, image-less prayer. In this book, Gregory Ryan matches these passages of Scripture with extracts from John Main's own writings on the same verses.
This book is edited by Gregory Ryan, with an introduction by Laurence Freeman OSB.

 Sacrament:
The Christian Mysteries
John Main, O.S.B.
Price $9.95
Status: In Stock
|
For John Main the sacraments in the modern age can only be rediscovered through deep prayer.
Deeply rooted in theological tradition, he also sees the sacraments
freshly as healing, enlightening mysteries of the mystical dimension. In this simple book he offers a new way of describing these ancient truths.
"John Main often stressed that meditation helps the Christian to better appreciate the truths of the faith. His reflections on the sacraments show how that appreciation first springs not so much from the head as from the heart. It is depth of spiritual experience that awakens the sense of the sacred in one's own body as well as in the physical universe." - Fr. Laurence Freeman |
