Welcome
to our prayer space. Here you will find two separate sections.
The first presents brief descriptions of some of the different
ways to pray. The second section leads to the prayer room
and provides some readings and reflections as a help to prayer.
The
cave of the heart:
India has an ancient tradition of contemplative prayer. The
Indians have a saying that the deepest prayer takes place
not in the head but in the "cave of the heart". A cave is
a dark place. The cave of the heart is our deepest heart,
our spirit - a place where we might not "see" clearly, but
where we experience love, commitment and God. The cave of
Bethlehem has taken on a richer symbolism since I heard this
Indian expression. Mary had to leave the lighted, boisterous
town and walk out into the darkness of a cave, she saw the
Face of the Light of the World.
(Paul Glynn s.m.)
