Centering Prayer One Day Retreat

Fr. Thomas Keating describes Centering Prayer as the keystone of a comprehensive commitment to Scriptural Spirituality, manifesting as a deepening union with Christ, and practical caring for others.  This way of praying in silence opens our hearts and minds to consent to God’s presence and action within, beyond words, responding to the call of the Holy Spirit.
