Thanks Bob! As I’ve gotten older I began to meditate more and more. If nothing else, it helps you to relax and even clear your mind of clutter. I would advise those who will begin trying this for the first time to only try 5 to 10 minutes until you actually feel as if your mind is emptying out of all busy thoughts. This may take a few days or maybe weeks; it all depends on how quickly you can adapt to that ‘putting on the brakes’ in your head as it were. It’s awkward, but it WILL come; and when it does then you can begin to add more time. The really good part of this is you don’t have to make a schedule for it either. Some days you may just have 5 minutes; and that’s ok! Some days you may not want to do it at all–that’s ok too. Other days, you’ll be praying for some time you can squeeze in a bit of meditation and that’s really ok!! hahaha Use it to relax–always! Don’t feel stressed about it. I sometimes do it while I’m waiting in a long line somewhere; but of course that takes a lot of concentration to ‘tune out’ all the white noise around you. Just TRY it and stay with it as much as possible; as you practice regularly it will be easier and quicker and you will FEEL refreshed when you’re done!!! Praise God and go meditate my friends in Jesus!!!!

As I was reading your reflection, I envisioned all believers siting at the feet of our Savior, “contemplating.” What a productive outcome would emerge from that quiet and seemingly unproductive activity! I think of time spent in Adoration before the Blessed Sacrament, and I am filled with gratitude for this Gift of God’s Presence.
Thank you for your reflection that served as a catalyst for this vision and thought. God Bless you

Thank you, Bob! Somehow we all still need permission to do this. It’s so ingrained that I check off things on my list. It is always tough, but I’m always so much more joyful and at peace when I make time for Jesus in my day. Sometimes even my husband notices, and he can’t quite connect the dots yet, but it’s encouraging when he notices! Thank you and God bless.

It really is not easy calming my mind, thoughts and Spirit to listen to the voice of the Lord. This reflection has, once again, reminded me of the significance of contemplation. We all need this even in this jet age generation of majority heading nowhere fast. Dear Lord Jesus, speak to me in the silence of my heart, Amen.
