Fr Frans shares how he sensed a need for the experiential dimension in his prayer life, and how he found this in Christian meditation. Meditation, he says, offered a way to ‘shift from thinking about God to awareness of the presence of God’. He found that his faithful discipline of meditating twice daily enriched every aspect of his priestly life with deeper faith, clarity, balance, and meaning. In the same way, he says, meditation can add the contemplative, mystical dimension to marriage spirituality. It can help couples to experience their relationship as a divine encounter when they go beyond words to simply ‘dwell’ together in God’s love.
