Christian Meditation Group

A small group meets to hear a selection from Fr. Laurence Freeman's "Practical Wisdom - Preparing to Meditate" audiotape series, share a 20-25 minute period of silent meditation, and then support one another in living the presence of Christ in our lives. We meet the first and third Tuesdays of every month at 6:30 PM at the church, usually in Pastor Kurt's office.

We are all beginners, and all are welcome.

Laurence Freeman OSB

“Meditation is the missing contemplative dimension of much Christian life today. It does not exclude other types of prayer and indeed deepens one's reverence for the sacraments and one's reading of scriptures.

"Be still and know that I am God"

Meditation involves coming to a stillness of spirit and a stillness of body. The extraordinary thing is that, in spite of all the distractions of the modern world, this silence is perfectly possible for all of us. To attain this silence and stillness we have to devote time, energy and love.

The way we set out on this pilgrimage is to recite a short phrase, a prayer-word that today is commonly called a mantra. The mantra is simply a means of turning our attention beyond ourselves, a method of drawing us away from our own thoughts and concerns. The real work of meditation is to attain harmony of body, mind and spirit. This is the aim given us by the psalmist; be still and know that I am God. In meditation we turn the search light of consciousness off ourselves.”
