CENTERING PRAYER
Monday, January 9th at 10am in the Rectory Chapel.
CENTERING PRAYER
is a method of prayer which helps us move
beyond
conversation with Christ to
communion with
Christ.
The source of this prayer is the indwelling Presence of God.
The focus of Centering Prayer is the deepening of our relationship with the living Christ.
It tends to build communities of faith and bond the members
together in mutual friendship and love.
To
learn more about Centering Prayer,
call Sister Patty at 581-4266, x134 or simply join us!
All are welcome to join us in the quiet time of prayer.
