The Art of Contemplative Prayer

"We need something more to help people grow spiritually. This something more is simply contemplative prayer, daily spiritual exercise that can deepen our relationship with Jesus. He will give us a new vision of things by showing us what is really essential. He will fill the void left in us by modern life. people are looking for someone, something that can fill their emptiness, but they typically look to bad place. Never drugs, alcohol, sex, wealth or fancy cars do fill that void. Too often our contemporaries wanted to experiment with the material satisfactions, to finally realize that they can quench their thirst for huge happiness. only God can quench that thirst, because it is really a hunger for it. St. Augustine said, "You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in thee" (confessions of St. Augustine).

Jesus on the Cross has launched these words: "I ​​thirst. "It was a desire not to drink, but the heart of every human being. Today, Jesus is again to our generation the gift of his love, which alone can satisfy this thirst and this immense feeling of emptiness that remained insatiable far. This gift is that of contemplative prayer. Through this gift, Jesus drink, fill their emptiness and breathe new life. Joy and peace will settle in their daily lives and they begin to see reality with new eyes. They taste the goodness of God and enjoy all the gifts that Jesus did. They will desire to prayer and the thirst for the Word of God. Yes, men and women of our time may find rest to their minds: just as they look in the right place. "
