Meditation is a form of contemplative prayer in which we move beyond words, thoughts, and images. We open ourselves to God’s mysterious and silent presence within us and it becomes more and more the reality of our lives. From this place of prayer we engage in our work in the world.
This spring, Wisdom Ways invites you to experience Christian contemplative prayer.
Lent is a time of preparation. Through prayer and fasting, we ready ourselves to enter into the celebration of the central Christian mystery of Jesus’ death and resurrection.
Wisdom Ways offers varied ways to move toward the transforming experience of this sacred event.
