The trinitarian basis of meditation

There is a very simple way to understand how the prayer of Jesus becomes our prayer. Think how natural it is when you go into a room where someone is looking up intently at the ceiling, to follow the line of their attention and to seek what has so absorbed them. Pure attention is the most powerful energy of which consciousness is capable. And it is the most communicable. Trusting the power of that single-minded purity is what we do when we pray. We give our attention to Christ and gradually our attention is empowered by his and is turned, within his consciousness, to the Father. This is the trinitarian basis of meditation, the pure attention of Jesus in the Spirit, towards the Father.
