CENTERING PRAYER
Monday, April 19th 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.
It is not exclusive to any one religion but nourishes the heart of every religion.
Thus it can enhance the practice of every religion.
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._____________________________________________________________________
