In the Christian tradition, contemplative prayer is considered to be the pure gift of God.
It is an opening of mind and heart, our whole being to God, the Ultimate Mystery,
beyond thoughts, words, and emotions. It is simply resting in the presence of God.
Like all Christian prayer, contemplative prayer is rooted in the word of God in scripture
and in the person of Jesus Christ. Its source is the indwelling Trinity; Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
God in unconditional LOVE takes the initiative in relation to us.
At the same time our desire for God is also God's gift to us.
Centering Prayer
Sunday Mornings 9am
Thursday Evenings 6pm
In the Chapel of the Holy Innocents
The Practice of Centering Prayer familiarizes us with God’s
first language – SILENCE. This method of silent prayer serves to prepare one to receive the gifts of God’s presence. It is simple yet profound in its effects.
The Mystics Study Group
Thursday Evenings 6:30pm
In the Chapel of the Holy Innocents
We use the study of the Mystics throughout history as a guide. These people lived the Contemplative life in search of God’s constant presence. We can learn about deepening our own spiritual lives through their example and testimony. Our first book to read and discuss: The Naked Now, by The Rev. Richard Rohr.
