Guided 30 minute meditation - Prayer of the Name- Center for Spiritual Imagination by Center for Spiritual Imagination

The method of prayer that we will practice today is called the "Jesus Prayer", or the "The Prayer of the Name." In this practice, we simply repeat a short prayer phrase together, at first by whispering it together, and then in silence. One spiritual master said this about the Prayer of the Name: "Dear friend, your heart is a polished mirror. You must wipe it clean of the veil of dust that has gathered upon it, because it is destined to reflect the light of divine secrets." This practice can help us clean the dust of our hearts and begin to live in the remembrance of God.

This meditation is based on teachings on prayer and includes materials from: St. Teresa of Avila, St. Faustina and Divine Mercy, St. Anselm, Henri Nouwen, and Al-Ghazâlî. Meditation guided by: The Rev. Adam Bucko. Music director: Larry Tremsky. Soprano: Katrina Montagna.
