CENTERING PRAYER

Centering Prayer is for those who want more - infinitely more.
It is for those who dare to believe that they are made to be
intimate with God. It is for those who truly love themselves,
love themselves enough to put first thing s first: to give God
his time, to give themselves this time in God, so that they can
give to others quality time that is love and creative.

There are three kinds of contemplation:
Direct, which penetrates immediately into the depths of reality.
Oblique, which reaches the Divine through the contemplation of
creation within which God hides and through which God can reveal
Godself. And finally, there is Circular, which circles around the object
and see it from many different angles, gradually being drawn into
the fullness of its reality.

On this life's journey, we are all buffeted by many cares and concerns.
Days get very full. Prayer can so easily get squeezed out.

We need to be motivated to keep coming back, even when God seems
remarkable by absence.
