Sacrament - New Edition

This new edition of a John Main classic is very timely. 

For John Main the sacraments in the modern age can only be rediscovered through deep prayer.  Deeply rooted in theological tradition, he also sees the sacraments freshly as healing, enlightening mysteries of the mystical dimension.  In this simple book he offers a new way of describing these ancient truths

John Main often stressed that meditation helps the Christian to better appreciate the truths of the faith.  His reflections on the sacraments show how that appreciation first springs not so much from the head as from the heart.  It is depth of spiritual experience that awakens the sense of the sacred in one's own body as well as in the physical universe.   - Laurence Freeman OSB
