During the past year in my local parish we've been able to form a small group that meets weekly for Centering Prayer. Meeting on Tuesdays at 10:00 a.m. since January, we've recently been studying Cynthia Bourgeault's Centering Prayer and Inner Awakening. Our small group is firmly knit, and today we welcomed two new hearts: Carolyn Shaw and Carol Garman. Typically we first enter the sanctuary and practice Centering Prayer for twenty minutes and then gather over coffee to discuss Bourgeault. Well committed to our practice and meetings, we're determined to continue for as long as possible. Even when only one or two are able to come, someone sits for the practice. As we move along, you can be sure that we'll keep you informed about what's happening.
