Centering Prayer, a form of meditative prayer called the “prayer of the heart”, is rooted in the teachings of Jesus and of the Desert Fathers and Mothers of the early church. Through the practice of Centering Prayer we learn how to surrender to love, to abide in divine love, and to enjoy the numerous fruits of the practice: appreciation of silence and solitude, less susceptibility to stress, deeper reverence for the divine in and through nature, willingness and commitment to a life of reconciliation and peace, and longing for and realization of our full union with God, with humanity, and with all life forms on our planet. The practice of Centering Prayer encourages us to cultivate an open mind, heart, and will as we seek spiritual transformation in Christ.

During the Lenten Season we will continue to read, study and ponder Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians. The mystery of Christ's Cross and Resurrection and the Gift of the Holy Spirit are at the heart of Pauline theology and this is no less true of this letter than the others. This makes it appropriate reading for the seasons of Lent and Easter(or any season). All the baptized are incorporated into Christ and so daily we die with Him, we rise in Him to new life, life in the Holy Spirit of God.
