Today, as every Wednesday, we had Centering Prayer at St. Antony's. We have a small but faithful group that gathers weekly to sit in a contemplative silence for twenty minutes. These weekly sessions are a wonderful way to rest, recharge, and renew.
Although I do twenty minutes of Centering Prayer every morning, I still find these group sessions to be helpful. There's something especially powerful about sharing a time of silence with others who also know this practice. The group time adds to the individual time and reinforces it.
It's not all time in silence. We spend the first half hour or so catching up on our lives and sharing. Then we set the timer and move into our contemplative time. If you haven't tried it yet, you should join us!
