Dear Friends of JRJI
Almost twenty years ago, we published a book entitled, “The Jesus Meditations.” Published along with the book was a CD on which both the Gospel passages, and the meditations based on those passages, were recorded. During this time of COVID-19, where we are all spending a lot of time at home, we would like to present you with a few of these meditations once again in the form of an online retreat for you and your family.
The Gospel passages were read by our friend Janne Shirely, a Chaplain at Central Juvenile Hall, and the meditations were read by our friend the actor Martin Sheen.
There is no set schedule for listening to the six meditations. You can listen to one each day, for example, if you’d like to set aside a week for a mini-retreat. Or you could listen to one each week if you’d like to spread out the experience. The written texts of the meditations are also on the website if you would like to follow along as you listen.
We pray as the JRJI team that by spending some time in meditation on these themes, we will be better ministers to bring God’s word to the world when we return to our work.
