Last evening six of us--Mason, June, Stephen, Danielle, Pat, Harry, and I--met to talk about Centering Prayer and watch Thomas Keating present "The Method of Centering Prayer." From what I surmise, our discussion went well and our initial practice of Centering Prayer proved itself helpful as we are coming to understand something of the apophatic prayer tradition in the life of the Church. Encouraged to practice Centering Prayer during the coming week, we plan to meet again next Monday on December 15, once again in my home at 7:00 p.m. In the days to come, I'll be posting thoughts and comments that others have made about their practice of centering prayer. Please feel free to post any comments you may have concerning your contemplative prayer life.
