Often when I feel in need of divine encouragement,
I recite my favourite road prayer: Maranatha,
A single word in Aramaic whose meaning is,
"Come Lord"
Ma-ra-na-tha. The tradition from which it descends
is deep and ancient, steeped in the practise of sages
and teachers and saints, a fine tradition of
meditation,. I subscribe to that. And although I
often go months without saying it, I always come
back to it: Maranatha ... Come Lord!
So simple and elegant and powerful.
