Introduction to Centering Prayer

Oct 7 2008 - 7:00pm
Location: 
Bethany House of Prayer, Arlington

Drawn from the contemplative prayer practices of the Desert Fathers and Mothers, and similar in some respects to Zen sitting practice, centering prayer is a form of meditation in which the mind and heart open to the wisdom and grace of God. Essentially receptive and personal, centering prayer begins in quiet reflection on brief passages drawn from Scripture and other sources and moves into long silence. It is in the deep stillness of shared silence that we attend to God’s presence and action within. Please bring a journal to each session.  read more »
