Welcome to
the Saint Mary’s College of California
Office of Mission and Ministry Meditation
website.
This
is God’s project to help other people
meditate and learn to use meditation
for prayer, and to develop themselves.
We envision it going to all our schools,
and for the faculty staff and students,
and that they also may learn to share
this with their family and friends.
And so the Schools of the Brothers
may begin to spread this beautiful
practice throughout the world, because
Saint LaSalle said the most important
religious exercise of the Brothers
is to meditate daily.

"Even just a five-minute meditation can recall us to the fact that we are in the presence of a God who loves us with an overwhelming love. This is the Christian and specifically Lasallian heritage - in the Rule of the Brothers the most important exercise of the day is interior prayer..."
"CD's containing guided meditations to help you build your personal meditation practice are available at the workshops.
