Contemplative Prayer
Contemplative Prayer is the opening of mind and heart – our whole being – to God, beyond thoughts, words and emotions. Centering prayer is a method of prayer that furthers the development of contemplative prayer by quieting our faculties to receive and cooperate with the gift of God’s presence. It consists of responding to the spirit of Christ by consenting to God’s presence and action within.
