## Resource

In this guided Christian meditation, Brother Richard explores the ancient practice of sacred chant through one of the oldest prayers in the Christian tradition: Maranatha , the Aramaic phrase meaning "Come, Lord." Found at the close of the New Testament, Maranatha has been used for centuries as a contemplative prayer, helping Christians enter into stillness, deepen awareness of God's presence, and cultivate inner peace. In this meditation, the sacred mantra is first repeated silently, then gently chanted, allowing its rhythm and resonance to work alongside the breath to quiet the mind and open the heart. Sacred chanting has long been recognised across the world's contemplative traditions as a powerful aid to meditation. Whether you're seeking relief from stress and anxiety, looking for a peaceful way to end your day, or hoping to deepen your Christian prayer life, this simple practice offers a timeless path into silence, presence and divine love. This episode is suitable for daily meditation, moments of reflection, prayer, relaxation, or preparing for restful sleep.
