Meditatio can be practised by anyone

What explains the meditation itself is simplicity. This is a very simple method. It can be practised by a child, by an old person, by somebody on their deathbed, by a prisoner in prison, by somebody recovering from a cancer operation, or somebody raising a family in the middle of their life. It can be practised by anyone and it is simple, not easy. I’m not pretending that it is easy, but it is simple. And as soon as we start – we only have to start – as soon as you start, the Lord comes to help you and teaches you.
