contemplative prayer - nurturing our soul

We live in such exciting and demanding times, in which we are connected in so many unprecedented ways.  Yet these very connections can add such speed and complexity to our lives that we can feel overwhelmed.  Meister Eckhart rightly indeed commented in his own age that 'God is here.  It is we who have gone out for a walk.'  Today we are typically not just walking but traveling at hyper-speed, and multi-tasking at the same time! It is into this context that the revival of contemplative prayer speaks as a vital gift.

This week we begin a new opportunity for contemplative prayer by starting a Christian Meditation group (as part of the Australian Christian Meditation Community on the St Francis College Milton site.  This will be at 5.45 pm on Wednesdays, in the Annexe of Old Bishopbourne - just across from the Chapel of the Holy Spirit and in the first building on the right hand side of the through road from the Baroona Road entrance (ring 0477 444 095 or 0488 333 169 if you would like to come along and would like more information or a friendly face to meet you!).
