Centering Prayer

Centering prayer is a practice of silent prayer within the contemplative prayer tradition. In centering prayer, we open our minds and hearts to God’s presence and action within us. We accept God’s invitation to develop a friendship that will lead eventually to divine union, the full awareness of God’s presence in us, in all humanity and in all human experiences. It is joining our mind and heart with the mind and heart of Christ. Centering prayer is a process by which we start to regularly hang out with God so to speak.
