Word Into Silence- Spanish La Palabra Dentro Del Silencio

Fr. Main (1926-1982), an Irish monk raised in England, has written an intelligent and brilliantly instructive book on Christian prayer and meditation. Based on the tradition of ancient Church father & mystic John Cassian, prayer centers on the mantra (primarily the Aramaic word "Maranatha," which means "Come, Lord"), thus stilling the heart and mind and opening ourselves to God & Christ's presence within. Fr. Bede Griffiths praised and assessed Fr. Main as one of the leading spiritual guides of our day.

Here he roots it in a Scriptural and Trinitarian tradition, and describes the process of personal growth and change into which meditation leads us.
