The Better Part and the Four “Cs” of Christian Meditation (Concentrate, Consider, Converse and Commit)
A Video Resource

How to Meditate

Meditation is rooted in the tradition of the Catholic Church. It is a personal and intimate conversation with God. But, some people do not know how to get started. In this video, Fr. John Bartunek helps us understand how to approach God through faith, how to use the “Four Cs” of Christian meditation: Concentrate, Consider, Converse, and Commit. To learn more about this method and to dig deeper into your relationship with Jesus Christ through Christian meditation, please consider purchasing Fr. John’s fantastic book The Better Part – A Christ-Centered Resource for Personal Prayer. Detailed steps on each of the “Four Cs” mentioned beforehand are provided in this very popular book.
