The World Community for Christian Meditation
"Meditation is not the time for words, however beautiful or sincerely phrased. All our words are wholly ineffective when we come to enter into this deep and mysterious communion with God. To come into this communion with the Word of God dwelling in us we must become silent. Silence is necessary for the human spirit if it is to really thrive and be creative because silence gives our spirit room to breath, room to be."

ADVENT

The Church's year is divided into seasons. We are now in the season of ordinary time, characterised by the priest (usually) wearing green vestments at Mass.


"I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."

John 10:10

Lord, I offer you my seeking;
show me the way.
I offer you my doubts;
lead me to trust in you.
I offer you my hurts;
heal me.
I offer you my fears;
give me hope.
I offer you my loneliness;
welcome me.
I offer you my heart;
warm it with love.
I offer you my journey;
lead me home where
I can live in your justice, peace and love.
