Thank you Beth your voice and cadence was soothing reassuring. My good friend and spiritual adviser father Sam Mattarazo was assigned to the Abbe of the Gethesamane in Trappist Kentucky where he met and became friends with Thomas, Father Sam introduced me to this prayer. Thank you!!!

Excellent! I love all of your meditations! MA RA NA SA was a new concept to me and it would be helpful if you could repeat the meaning several times.

So beautiful the repetition of the prayer and gentleness of the words really helped to acknowledge them 🙏

Thank you for this. Perfect meditation to prepare for and pray the Jesus Prayer (in breath “Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God”, out breath “have mercy on me, a sinner”) leading into a time of silence to follow and just be still and know. I appreciate all that you share . God Bless

Beth, thank you. This felt good and comforting. "OH Jesus not my will, but your will be done!"

This passage is so familiar and yet it reveals it message still🙏🏻 I find the two people that I’m with every day, my 88 year old Mom and my aging husband, both whom I love so much, try my patience. These words are reminding me of His love for me and that I should just as freely share it with others…even when I have to repeat myself 😉
