Contemplative Prayer for Today: Christian Meditation gathers some of Fr. Larkin''s earlier scholarship and relates it to his own journey into Centering Prayer and Christian Meditation. He Dialogues the spiritual heritage of Mount Carmel with these other contemporary'' wisdoms of the Desert.'' He has helpful advice for those new to contemplation and reveals hidden depths for those on the way.
This work is the swansong of a life dedicated to God. Fr Larkin died soon after its completion. He felt that there was no greater service one could do than lead people to an encounter with God in their own hearts. This book is his legacy to us and shows the wisdom and love to which he is not fully united. He leaves us a rich inheritance.
