Holy Family Passionist Retreat Center Center Building 1st Floor Classroom 303 Tunxis Road - West Hartford, CT Doors Open at 8:30 a.m. All prayer is a relationship with God. Centering Prayer is a method designed to facilitate the development of contemplative prayer by preparing our faculties to receive the gift of this prayer form.
Centering Prayer does not replace other ways to pray; rather, it deepens the experience of God’s presence in them. It teaches us to deeply consent to the presence and action of God in our lives, and letting our Lord love us. A Free Will Offering accepted for the benefit of Holy Family Retreat Center |
