Faith Venture

Saint Pio of Pietrelcina stated: “Through the study of books one seeks God; by meditation one finds Him.”

We find in the Bible and other teaching the terms prayer, meditation, and contemplation. These are spiritual practices (also known as disciplines). These are a structured attempt to get in touch with and deliberately reflect upon revelations of God. 

I recall a time at university when I thought my life’s purpose was to be an intellectual. Then I discovered that knowledge in the head can be a dead end. The experience of the presence of God can be found through intentional practices such as prayer, meditation, and contemplation. Surprisingly, also through service.
