| 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) |
The theme is: What is Meditation? Explain how meditation is a universal practice also found in our Christian tradition. It is a discipline not just a technique. There are no difficult theories or techniques to master. Emphasize the stillness of the body and the importance of the twice-daily practice. Prepare them for the encounter with the monkey-mind. Remind them that meditation is the prayer of the heart so all thoughts, including holy ones, are to be left aside. Play one of John Main’s talks from his ‘In the Beginning’ series. Recommend book: Laurence Freeman’s book, Christian Meditation: Your Daily Practice. Suggested New Testament Reading: Matthew 6: 5-6
