Product Description
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'. John Main describes this prayer as the stream of love that flows constantly between Jesus and his Father. John Main believed that the most important goal for any fully human life that we should become receptive to this stream of love. Stillness and silence before God is the way to achieve this. Leaving distraction behind, we find fullness of life in love and silence. A striking feature of the book is its emphasis on simplicity and moving beyond 'techniques' of prayer.

Moment of Christ
John Main, a Benedictine monk, is regarded as a great teacher and an inspiring spiritual guide. From his teaching developed The World Community for Christian Meditation. This book consists of a series of talks given to groups on the subject of meditation. He defines meditation as a pilgrimage to one’s own centre and throughout the book he gives practical lessons on how to meditate, how to achieve silence and stillness. Simplicity and stillness are at the heart of prayer and meditation together with the repetition of a prayer-phrase or mantra. These talks and the practical advice in them are themselves simple and helpful. There is little that is philosophical or theological in his analysis of the state of mind of the person who becomes absorbed in the mystery of God. What is revealed to us through proper meditation is truth and reality, freedom from regretting the past and from fearing the future. This is not only a practical book but an inspiring one.
First published in 1984 shortly after John Main’s death in 1982
