Contemplative spirituality is not simply a way of praying,
undertaken by religious profekSionals, hut is an adventurous way of
living the Christian life that is open to all. At its centre is the
belief that God is active in human affairs and in people's hearts.
Our response is to wait - not in resigned passivity, but in
anticipation of being caught up in the activity of God, in our
personal lives and in the life of the world. The first part of this
book explores the roots of contemplative spirituality in the Old
Testament, focusing particularly on the theme of 'waiting for the
Lord' in the Psalms. The second part draws on this Old Testament
tradition. and on the insights of the Desert Fathers and other
early contemplatives the Church, to present a way of engaging in
contemplative spirituality which is relevant for people today. .
Practising such a spirituality can transform not only the way we
pray, but every aspect of our lives. This is a message we need to
rediscover today when so much importance is given to what we can
achieve -for ourselves:
