In this, the last book he wrote before his death, the spiritual writer John Main characteristically turns to the source and focus of all his inspirational teaching about prayer - the presence of Christ.
He writes, 'Learning to meditate is the most practical thing in the world. You require only one quality when you begin. That is seriously to want to learn - The central message of the New Testament is that there is really only one prayer and that this prayer is the prayer of Christ. It is a prayer that continues in our heart day and night'.
A striking feature of the book is its emphasis on simplicity and moving beyond 'techniques' of prayer.
JOHN MAIN OSB served in the diplomatic service in the Far East, and taught law at Trinity College, Dublin. He founded the World Community for Christian Meditation, a worldwide spiritual family linked through daily prayer, operating in 114 countries and with over 100,000 members worldwide. www.wccm.org
