What would it be like to meet Jesus, face to face? To walk with him along the roads and seashores of ancient Palestine…to eat with him, to hear his words, to witness his miracles? For centuries, Christians have sought a more intimate, personal encounter with Jesus through the practice of Ignatian contemplation, also known as imaginative prayer.
“Pick up the Gospel, a short passage, imagine what is happening and talk to Jesus about it…. And in this way, your knowledge of Jesus will be greater and your hope will grow.”
POPE FRANCIS, “THE GOSPEL IN HAND,” MORNING MEDITATION FOR FEBRUARY 3, 2015
