“The best way to share the gift of meditation with others is to pray is with them. In real presence with others, we sense the deeper truth of our being and so learn to see beyond ourselves. That is why meditating regularly, whether daily or weekly, with the same community, is such a source of sustenance to our pilgrimage.” – John Main, Monastery Without Walls
