Christ Meditation

The stations of the cross, as with many devotional forms within the Catholic Church, has developed over the centuries. The practice of walking the Via Dolorosa began with pilgrims to the Holy Land in Jerusalem during the Crusades and was brought back to the local parish churches by those pilgrims and crusaders. St. Alphonsus Liguouri authored a standard form in the 1700s that continues to be used in parishes today.

Many people are curious about the second coming of Christ—what it will be like, when it will happen, and what signs will come first. In his latest book, Come, Lord Jesus, John Piper addresses all these issues, but stresses that those who love the second coming of Christ will receive a crown of righteousness (2 Timothy 4:6–8). Piper examines key biblical texts around the second coming while encouraging listeners toward a Spirit-awakened affection for Jesus's return.

“It is not merely penance that the Church asks of us during Lent. It is extra prayer.” Some preachers are more notable than others. Fr. Gerald Vann, O.P., was ordained in 1929 at the remarkable age of twenty-three in a Dominican Order known for its careful discrimination about its candidates. Despite fame both in his native England and in the United States, his brilliant and accessible writing has largely disappeared from view. Of great significance is this compendium of Lenten inspirations. In seven chapters marked by originality and striking clarity, Fr.

TO walk and talk with God, as child with father, friend with friend; lifting up life into the light of His love—this is religion.

Real religion is the offering up of each man’s life, in its concrete setting, day by day, hour by hour, moment by moment, to the guidance and keeping of God.

How to increase your Christ consciousness through meditations

Unveiled Horizon is not meant to be an academic work, for I am not an academic expert. It's not meant to provide answers to your questions. Rather, as I have said in messages for many years, my desire is not to answer your questions, but instead to question your answers. Here are some of my most relentless questions: What does an authentic, vulnerable, intimate, and unhindered relationship with God look like? What does it feel like to live an existence with no judgement, no guilt, no shame, no sin consciousness, no sin nature? What does it sound like to abide in the rest of the living Word?...

“YE ARE THE SALT OP THE EARTH: BUT IF THE SALT HAVE LOST HIS SAVOUR, WHEREWITH SHALL IT BE SALTED? IT IS THENCEFORTH GOOD POR NOTHING, BUT TO BE CAST OUT, AND TO BE TRODDEN UNDER FOOT OP MEN.” The words which we have before us naturally and most conveniently suggest a threefold division of the subject. First, there is a dignity: “Ye are the salt of the earth.” Then, secondly, a danger—that of losing our savour; a thing the more dangerous, as we are appointed not to get a savour from others, but to impart one to them. And then, thirdly, a doom; such savourless salt shall “be cast...

"WHAT does God do all day?" once asked a little boy. One could wish that more grown-up people would ask so very real a question. Unfortunately, most of us are not even boys in religious intelligence, but only very unthinking children. It no more occurs to us that God is engaged in any particular work in the world than it occurs to a little child that its father does anything except be its father. Its father may be a Cabinet Minister absorbed in the nation's work, or an inventor deep in schemes for the world's good; but to this master-egoist he is father, and nothing more. Childhood, whether...

"The devotion to the Most Blessed Sacrament is a devotion of Paradise because it is the devotion which the Angels and Saints of Heaven also have." -Fr. Stephano Manelli Devotion to the Most Blessed Sacrament is devotion to the Body of Our Lord which was bruised, scourged, and crucified so that we may have the forgiveness of sins. It is equally devotion to the Blood of Our Lord which was shed so that we may be washed clean. Eucharistic devotion unites us with the Soul of Christ, which sanctifies us at every moment. It is also devotion to the Divinity of Our Lord, to which Christ unites ...

The practice of Lectio Divina or Sacred Reading is method involving prayerfully interacting with scripture. This practice is helpful as a tool to activate the transforming power of the Word in one'sy life. In this method short passages of scripture are read several times with periods of reflection and quiet between the readings. The normal practice in reading any book is to master its content, but mastering the Bible is not the focus of Lectio Divina. That focus is to let the Word master the reader.
