Download or read book Meditation and Communion with God written by John Jefferson Davis and published by InterVarsity Press. This book was released on 2012-08-02 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As culture has become at once more secular and more religiously pluralistic, a renaissance of interest in the spiritual disciplines has been sparked in evangelical Protestant circles. Mounting levels of stress, burnout and spiritual dryness among those in ministry has only stoked this desire for spiritual nourishment and renewal. John Jefferson Davis helps us recover the practice of meditation on Scripture as he explores the biblical and theological foundations rooted in the arrival of "the age to come" in Jesus Christ. Indeed by virtue of our union with Christ, the Triune God of the Bible draws near to his people so that they may also draw near to him. Meditation on God's revelation has always been central to enjoying communion with the Father through the Son and in the Spirit. Davis gives us fresh and practical guidance on removing the obstacles that block our fellowship with God and listening to Scripture in ways that can enrich our worship, faith, hope and love.

Download or read book Eucharistic Meditations written by Abbé H. Convert and published by Scepter Publishers. This book was released on 2017-01-01 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Saint Jean-Baptiste Marie Vianney, known affectionately as The Curé d'Ars, was a peasant priest. In the aftermath of the French Revolution and Napoleonic rule, in a time of anti-clericalism and social and economic disarray, he was appointed parish priest of the obscure and dispirited village of Ars. Over the next forty years, he was the agent of a complete spiritual, social, and material reform of his parish, which became a joyful refuge and a place of pilgrimage. Men and women would travel for weeks simply to confess before the humble and holy man. His particular devotion to the Blessed Sacrament is manifest in this book of twenty-seven meditations, which had its first English edition two years before his canonization in 1925. St. John is now celebrated as the patron of parish priests.

Book excerpt: Partaking of the Lords Supper is one of the Christians most solemn and sweet acts of worship. Christ commands His disciples, This do in remembrance of me (Luke 22:19). To those who neglect the Supper, Thomas Wadsworth says, I beseech you, consider whose command it is you break. It is the command of the Lord Jesus; to remember Him in this Supper is a debt you owe to Him, your Saviour, Lord, and Head; it is a command that bears the superscription of the most supreme authority in heaven or earth (Wadsworth, 136).

Afterward, he provided a few minutes of silence for reflection, and then began to offer Mass.

Practical, straightforward, and full of wisdom, these talks will help you to quiet your soul, concentrate your mind, and grow receptive to God's grace during Mass.

Download or read book The Abiding Presence written by William Powell Tuck and published by CSS Publishing Company. This book was released on 2017 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Communion is one of the few universal practices in every Christian church, yet even communion can be divisive as followers of Christ wrestle with how to properly obey the Lord's command: "This do in remembrance of me." The Abiding Presence: Communion Meditations is an invitation to all believers to come together around the central meaning of communion on which all Christians can agree. The Abiding Presence will challenge the way your church thinks about communion, and will ask the heart of every member of your congregation to open in expectation for the Holy Spirit to arrive not merely in memory, but in the here and now. "William Tuck, who has long proven himself a pastor to pastors in our era, now gives us this extremely thoughtful and informative little book about communion, the ageless center of all Christian worship. His brief but poignant meditations on the Sacred Table will doubtless find their way into many preachers' sermons, thus touching the lives of countless thousands of grateful worshipers." - John Killinger, former professor of Vanderbilt Divinity School, pastor and author "The grace of Holy Communion has been taken for granted too long. Bill Tuck's book, The Abiding Presence: Communion Meditations, is a welcome word to those of us who view Communion as much more than merely "eating" and "drinking" together. Reading and reflecting on this volume provides one with the stuff for understanding that Communion is much more than going to church and eating my little cracker. It is an Abiding Presence that shouldn't be taken for granted." - Jimmy Gentry, Senior Pastor, Garden Lakes Baptist Church, Rome, GA Meditations Include: "In the Breaking of Bread" Exodus 12:30-34, John 6: 33-35, 1 Corinthians 13:23-24 "Learning to Eat at the Lord's Table" Exodus 16:14-21, Mark 14:22-25 "Are You in the Mood for Christmas?" Judges 13:8, Matthew 2:1-3 William Powell Tuck, a native of Virginia, has served as a pastor in Virginia, Kentucky, North Carolina, and Louisiana, and as a seminary professor, adjunct college professor, and as an intentional interim pastor. He is the author of over 30 books, including Star Thrower: A Pastor's Handbook, The Forgotten Beatitude: Worshipping through Stewardship, 200 articles, and he was awarded an honorary Doctor of Divinity degree from the University of Richmond.
