Moment of Christ by John Main Pdf

In this, the last book he wrote before his death, the spiritual writer John Main characteristically turns to the source and focus of all his inspirational teaching about prayer - the presence of Christ. He writes,'Learning to meditate is the most practical thing in the world. You require only one quality when you begin. That is seriously to want to learn - The central message of the New Testament is that there is really only one prayer and that this prayer is the prayer of Christ. It is a prayer that continues in our heart day and night'. A striking feature of the book is its emphasis on simplicity and moving beyond 'techniques' of prayer.

Monastery Without Walls by John Main (O.S.B.) Pdf

The Benedictine monk John Main was one of the most profoundly influential spiritual teachers of recent times. His belief that the desert tradition of meditative prayer practised by the earliest monastic communities had an immediate and contemporary relevance gave rise to the vision of a totally new kind of community, one made up of men and women scattered throughout the world yet united in their daily practice of Christian meditation. It was to be, literally, a monastery without walls.

Letters from the Heart by John Main Pdf

This collection of letters was written by Dom John Main to participants and friends of his Benedictine Community of monks and lay people in Montreal. The author is the founder of this experiment in community renewal, which attempts to bring the depth of Benedictine monastic life to a modern urban center. "These letters", he says, "were written to communicate the awareness that all renewal -- whether personal renewal in Christ or monastic renewal in community -- is born from an ultimate self-transcendence in the reality of the present moment."--Back cover.

From Anxiety to Peace by John Main Pdf

Spiritual awareness and growth are high priorities for many people today. Meditation is the path to growth, the way to deepen our own commitment to life. In the tradition of meditation the space for the expansion of our spirit is to be found in silence. Through contact with the Life Source we can begin to understand the mystery of our being and to 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.
