Centering Prayer Group

Centering Prayer group meets every Wednesday evening at 6:30pm, in the prayer chapel at St. Bridget Catholic Church. Newcomers always welcome - Come let us share our practice with you!

The Guidelines to Centering Prayer

1. Choose a sacred word as the symbol of your intention to consent to God's presence and action within.

2. Sitting comfortably and with eyes closed, settle briefly and silently introduce the sacred word as the symbol of your consent to God's presence and action within.

3. When engaged with your thoughts*, return ever-so-gently to the sacred word.

4. At the end of the prayers period, remain in silence with eyes closed for a couple of minutes.

*thoughts include body sensations, feelings, images, and reflections.

from Open Mind, Open Heart, Fr. Thomas Keating
