Beginning Contemplative Prayer

Deepening Our Relationship With God
Through Centering Prayer

Led by:  Sr. Joyce Cox B.V.M., Paul Peterhans M.Div, and Dr. Rebecca Cortes

  Cox Peterhans Cortes

St. Gregory the Great (6th century) in summarizing the Christian contemplative tradition expressed it as “resting in God.” This was the classical meaning of Contemplative Prayer in the Catholic tradition for the first sixteen centuries.  This mostly-silent retreat is designed for persons interested in beginning the practice of contemplative prayer.  It will be an opportunity to learn more about centering prayer and deepen one’s desire and commitment to live a contemplative life.  

Recommended for those who are new to the practice of contemplative prayer/centering prayer/Christian meditation.
