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
