Centering Prayer
Tuesdays, 4:30-5:00 pm, via Zoom
Centering Prayer is a method of silent prayer in which we experience God’s presence within us. This method of prayer is both a relationship with God and a discipline to foster that relationship. The source of Centering Prayer is the Indwelling Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The focus of Centering Prayer is the deepening of our relationship with the living Christ. The effects of Centering Prayer are ecclesial, as the prayer tends to build communities of faith and bond the members together in mutual friendship and love.
