prayer and poverty

A great talk by John Main on "The Grand Poverty of the Mantra" [link to .mp3] over at the World Community for Christian Meditation website...




The essential task for the Christian is to understand poverty as the condition of spiritual development, to see prayer as the deepening of our conversion -- of our turning from 'self' to God in faith.

... the mantra is the sacrament of our poverty in prayer.
