meditation

Centering Prayer (time is 24 minutes) is a method of silent,
contemplative prayer which prepares us to receive the gift
of God's presence. In Centering Prayer we consent to God’s
presence and action within us. Centering Prayer quiets our
faculties to cooperate with the gift of God’s presence. It
facilitates the movement from more active modes of prayer
— verbal or mental— into a receptive prayer of resting in
God. It emphasizes prayer as a personal relationship with
God. At the same time, it is a discipline to foster and serve
this relationship by a regular daily practice.
