Robert Kennedy is one of the most eloquent exponents of a Catholic Christianity rooted deep in his own lived experience of faith. His wonderfully poetic style speaks of Zen as a way to overcome the human tendency to theorize, by total immersion in a stillness where an intuition of God's immanence can be realized..." (Michael Barnes)

Join UsJoin the WCCM International community in prayer and contemplation to reflect and meditate on the universal tradition of meditation.
In Christian mystical teaching every image of God can become an idol. Robert Kennedy has better understood this – and the meaning of God beyond words and images – through Zen.When Serapion the old desert monk cried “they have taken my God away from me and I do not know who to pray to” he was in fact going deeper into the mystery. Fr. Kennedy’s long experience of teaching meditation to modern Christians gives him powerful and much needed insights into the contemporary hunger for the experience of God.
In the context of prayer, silent meditation, lecture, and open dialogue these are issues Fr. Robert Kennedy will explore with us.

By stillness in the spirit we move in the ocean of God. If we have the courage to push off from the shore we cannot fail to find (this) direction and energy.
