"In the stillness of the quiet, if we listen, we can hear the whisper in the heart giving strength to weakness, courage to fear, hope to despair." - Howard Thurman
Centering prayer cultivates a disposition of interior silence intended to make room for God. It is a way of disposing of ourselves to receive the gift of contemplation, an encounter with God’s presence. All contemplative prayer is a way of being with God more intimately and seeking union with God. In centering prayer, we make space for God and then invite God into that space.
Holy Infant has a Centering Prayer Group with a long history. The Centering Prayer Group meets weekly via Zoom on Tuesdays, 8-9 am. The meeting includes an opening reflection, 20 minutes of silent meditation, Lectio reading and reflection on the Sunday Gospel, and concludes with intercessory prayer.
If you would like to experience group centering prayer, contact Susan Modrak or Lynn Sale for the Zoom link.
