To contemplate is to look, to see with the eyes of the spirit, there is a story to contemplate, which is generally the story of Jesus in the Gospel. It is the way of praying that helps us to understand and concentrate on the prayer a person is making. Contemplation should include the preparation of the word of God, the prayer of preparation, the preparation of the place and the prayer of petition. Catechesis on contemplative prayer with P.

Prayer heals us, as it did Bartime and many other sick people who were healed. Christian meditation brings us into conversation with Jesus. Meditation is a process of encounter with God. Many have said that prayer is a work of the heart and that it nourishes the heart. Meditation means taking a passage from Sacred Scripture to examine ourselves, to obtain spiritual benefits.

When we pray, we are like the leper who was healed, like Bartime who became blind and regained his sight, like Lazarus who died and was buried in the grave but received new life, from Jesus Christ. Prayer heals us like Bartime and many other sick people who have been healed. Christian meditation brings us into conversation with Jesus. Catechesis on meditation in collaboration with P. Rasolofoniaina Olivier - S.J.

The whole character of Jesus Christ, both as a human being and as God, contributes to salvation and happiness. All the time that Jesus lived on earth thanks to the grace of prayer can be considered as our present life, from which we can derive spiritual benefits, which is nothing other than the grace of meditation.
