A practice that invites us to be present to God as God is present to us. In the silence of centering, we open ourselves to God’s action in our lives. It is a process that transforms us and disposes us to receive the gift of contemplative prayer. In each session, we have an hour of Lectio Divina, which is a communal prayerful sharing and reflection on a portion of Sacred Scripture. This is followed by a twenty-minute session of Centering Prayer. This group also reflects on the process of centering prayer and encourages each member to be faithful to two daily sessions of Centering Prayer. Time commitment: Every Thursday morning after Mass until 11:00. Contact - Jean Pelletier papajeano@gmail.com 910-754-9126
