Our biblical verse:
"I can do all this through Him who strengthens me"
Phillipians 4:13
“If every 8 year old in the world is taught meditation, we will eliminate violence from the world within one generation.”
Dalai Lama
Meditation
"God is a friend of silence. His language is silence."
Mother Teresa of Calcutta"nurtures young people’s ability to retain a sense of wonder in their lives, and encourages others to do the same.
Before we, as adults, are able to join in this work, though, we have to acknowledge our own forgetfulness and distraction. It’s not a question of us teaching them anything, but rather of us learning from their simplicity." - " For children it is more straightforward. They are happy to sit down together in silence, let go of their thoughts and simply enjoy the experience of meditating." - " Children meditate together as naturally as they play together. They enjoy the simple discipline with its few clear rules." - "The simple routine brings with it a peace and calmness in an otherwise busy and noisy day and the children are the first to appreciate the advantage of taking time out. It has become clear that many children instinctively value this pure ‘prayer of the heart’." (from Christian Meditation in the UK)
