Centering Prayer

Centering Prayer facilitates a movement from more active modes of prayer: verbal, discursive or affective prayer into a receptive form of prayer sometime called “resting in God”……It can allow us to become sensitive to the very subtle inspirations of the Holy Spirit. ……..Centering Prayer is at the same time a relationship with God and a discipline to foster that relationship. Founded by Father Thomas Keating, drawing upon ancient monastic prayer practices to form a simple method of silent prayer for contemporary people.
