Centering Prayer

Centering Prayer is a method of prayer that leads to a deeper relationship with God and that opens us up to Contemplative Prayer. It consists of responding to the Spirit of Christ by consenting to God’s presence and action within. It facilitates a movement from more active modes of prayer into a receptive prayer of resting, silently, in God.

It is a method designed to facilitate the development of contemplative prayer by preparing our faculties to cooperate with this gift. It is an attempt to present the teaching of an earlier time in an updated form and to give it order and regularity.

Participants at our parish sessions practice centering prayer, discuss questions and challenges encountered during prayer, and receive encouragement. All are welcome.
