CENTERING PRAYER AND LECTIO DIVINA
4:00 pm - 4:45 pm
Caldwell Dominican Motherhouse
Registration appreciated by January 2, 2019
Fee: Free Will Offering
Centering Prayer is a receptive method of silent prayer that prepares us to receive the gift of contemplation. It is a prayer that moves us beyond conversation with God, with Christ, with Mystery. It is a method of prayer in which we consent to rest in God's presence. Lectio Divina is a reading, reflecting, responding and resting in the word of God that helps one to grow in relationship with God. After the group experiences Centering Prayer together, we will then share Lectio Divina from the scripture of the day. All are welcome to join in this prayer together. If you have experienced Centering Prayer, no need to register, just come by. If you are new to Centering Prayer, and are interested, please contact Kathy to set up a time to hear more about the prayer and address your questions.
