Centering Prayer

Back to Group List

 


Centering Prayer weekly sessions will be offered in room 109 on Mondays from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. beginning September 14.

Centering Prayer is a method of prayer which prepares us to receive the gift of God’s presence, traditionally called contemplative prayer. Centering prayer facilitates the movement from more active prayer-verbal, mental or affective prayer-into a receptive prayer of resting in God.

Centering Prayer is drawn from ancient prayer practices of the Christian contemplative heritage, notably the Fathers and Mothers of the Desert, The Cloud of Unknowing, St. John of the Cross and St. Teresa of Avila. In the 1970s Centering Prayer was distilled into a simple prayer method by three Trappist monks including Abbot Thomas Keating.
