Fr. Thomas Keating describes Centering Prayer as the keystone of a comprehensive commitment to the contemplative dimension of the Gospel, 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 beyond words, responding to the call of the Holy Spirit.

In this small retreat, you will be introduced to the concepts and method of centering prayer. Presented by Fr. Jos, who had been presenting this retreat for several years, will capture your attention and keep you interested and make it enjoyable. You can ask questions just like in any other class even though we will be distanced from each other in person.
