Mediatations

From her rich experience as priest and spiritual director Margaret Guenther has written reflections on Psalm 62 which begins, "For God alone my soul in silence waits; from him comes my salvation." In the introduction the author uses the life of Jesus to illustrate by example the need to "Come Away and Rest". In our hectic and sometimes meaningless busyness, we forget the need for quiet, reflection and prayer. Eight meaningful meditations on the psalm complete with questions for "Prayer and Pondering" provide an opportunity for personal retreat and rest. The format could also be used by a small group of pilgrims to learn together the power of quiet and reflection.
