Contemplative Mornings

Many Christians today long for a more intimate relationship with God that is not always experienced through praying primarily with discursive prayer. Centering prayer is a form of prayer that is responding to that desire, that need. In Centering Prayer, we come to God open, receptive, and willing to listen. It gives us a chance to just be present to God’s love and to let go of the daily distractions of life.

Centering Prayer sessions are usually held on the third Saturday of most months at Sacred Heart Monastery from 9 – 11:45. This involves four 20-minute sitting sessions, with a break in the middle. This is complemented by a teaching and a time for quiet solitude. Participants are expected to be vaccinated.
