Contemplative Prayer
Tuesdays at 7PM
in the nave of the church
Feeling the urge to pray to God beyond thoughts, words and emotions? Centering prayer may be for you. This simple method prepares us to receive the gift of contemplation; simply resting in the presence of God — open, alert, receptive. Each 60 minute Tuesday session includes an opening prayer, 30 minutes of silent contemplation, a short reading from a contemplative or mystic author, reflection and conversation, and a very short service of compline (nighttime prayer). For more information about this prayer you might visit contemplativeoutreach.org and centeringnm.com, or contact Larry.
