Centering Prayer is a silent prayer in which we experience God's presence within us, closer than breathing, closer than thinking, closer than consciousness itself. The practice begins with an opening meditation followed by 25 minutes of silence, so each gathering will take about 30 minutes. Center for Contemplative Justice is sponsoring a weekly Centering Prayer group at 9 am in the CCJ office, 5201 Alabama Ave. All are invited. No experience or long term commitment necessary. For more information, please contact, Connally Penley.

"The root of all prayer is silence. Centering prayer is an experience of God’s presence as the ground in which our being is rooted, the Source from whom our life emerges at every moment." - Thomas Keating
