| A PEARL OF GREAT PRICE Laurence Freeman, OSB |
| Again the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls; when he finds one of great value he goes and sells everything he owns and buys it. (Matthew 13:45) |
Meditation – often-called ‘pure prayer’ – does not replace other forms of prayer. What these are in the lives of different people will depend on their temperament and vocation and the kind of Christian tradition they are formed in. The reading of Scripture, communal prayer and worship and the prayer that expresses itself in physical acts of compassion and works of charity are all irreplaceable elements of a life lived in the way of the gospel. But the forms they take will vary. The practice of meditation is a living foundation for these— not a substitute for them. |
