Silence. Quiet. Stillness. Openness. Listening. These are all words that suggest themselves to someone who is beginning to taste the reality of God’s presence within. You only have to be a human being to be eligible to be a contemplative.
Thomas Keating
A worldwide wave of silence is coming and you are invited to jump in.
Join men and women all over the globe in the practice of Centering Prayer for the 18th annual United in Prayer Day sponsored by Contemplative Outreach International and Contemplative Outreach of New York.
The United in Prayer Day will consist of two periods of Centering Prayer and Meditation, viewing of a DVD recorded live at the 2009 Annual Conference of Contemplative Outreach in Austin, Texas, featuring presentations by Fr. Thomas Keating O.C.S.O. and time for discussion and reflection.
Ride the wave. Join the silence. All are welcome. There is no charge. All donations will help Contemplative Outreach offer future contemplative enrichment activities like this.
