Jesus says to “go into your inner room, shut the door and pray… in that secret place”. He is clearly a teacher of contemplation. Meditation is a way to this inner room – more than a technique it is a deepening of discipleship. Paradoxically this inner journey creates community and energises us for the service of others.
