About

Catholicmeditation.org seeks to assist the Catholic with daily contemplative prayer, by providing insights from each day’s Mass readings. The insights specifically aim at facilitating a genuine experience of intimacy with Christ through dialogue with Him. Matthew Williams, the site’s author, is a Catholic layman who spent eleven years in formation for the contemplative life in an atmosphere of silence, wherein three hours each day were reserved for personal contemplative prayer. His aim is to share some of what he gained in those years with site visitors.

If there ever appears to be any contradiction or even tension between the teachings of the Catholic Church and content found on this site, it is entirely unintentional, and the author’s position is simple: The teachings of the Church are the correct path to follow, and the contradictory content should be disregarded. The purpose of this site is sanctification, not innovation.
