The great treasure of Christian meditation is being received afresh in our modern world, in many different ways. One particular way is to observe how Christian meditation so easily flourishes in a school setting with young children.
This book contains reflections on Christian meditation in Catholic schools, showcasing many examples of how simple it really is to present to children this ancient yet new way of allowing the Holy Spirit to come to us, and we to God.
”In current literature about children and meditation, the pioneering work of Ernie Christie and Cathy Day stands supreme. While so many of us adults struggle with the practice of meditation, Christie and Day convince us through their love of meditation and their wide-ranging teaching experiences, that ‘children love meditation’. They see the potential for a divine flourishing in every child, the unimaginable harvest hidden in the springtime of their precious souls, and they have the clearest vision of how to protect and nourish that potential using meditation.”
– Fr Daniel O’Leary
