Contemplative Prayer
a far more powerful source of love in God in particular, in the person of the Holy Spirit. We learn that through the experience of contemplative prayer. The powers of faith, hope, and love are best developed and nurtured through the Eucharist. And we bring to the sacrament of the Eucharist this centeredness, this contemplative awareness. So that we prolong this experience of the Eucharist that only lasts for a few minutes in the morning throughout the day. It is by our being in communion with the Trinity, and then extending beyond our individual experience with God to our brothers and sisters in society.
L.M.: Being in communion with God and with others through contemplative prayer--and through the Eucharist-it is all communion.
E.M.: The Eucharist then becomes the center--not only, of the personal, individual spiritual life which I am living. It is also the source, which enables us to relate to other people we encounter, in our work and in our families.
