There is a great hunger for spirituality, from many different forms and many different sources – we are not in competition with any of these. Jesus is not competing for market share. So we don’t have to feel we have to compete. But, we do have to know what it is we have been entrusted with to share, and to share with the Nations. Sadly, and unfortunately, we have become very alienated from our own contemplative tradition and contemplative wisdom and the kind of practices that keep that wisdom flowing from its source.
( Christian Life in the Light of Christian Meditation 3, Laurence Freeman )
