The experience in itself

The time of meditation is very important for any useful reflection that we are going to have. Because we may be led into it by thought and reflection and sharing, but you let go of the thoughts and the words and the reflections at the time of meditation and you enter into the experience in itself. The experience of the presence of God dwelling within us, ‘Christ within you, the hope of the glory to come’ (Col 1:27).
