Centering Prayer is a method of silent prayer that prepares us to receive the gift of contemplative prayer, in which we experience God's presence within us, closer than breathing, closer than thinking, closer than consciousness itself. This method of prayer is both a relationship with God and a discipline that fosters that relationship. Centering Prayer is not meant to replace other kinds of prayer; rather, it casts a new light and depth of meaning on them. Centering Prayer is an ancient method of Christian prayer adapted for modern times by Fathers Thomas Keating, William Meninger, and Basil Pennington.
The Centering Prayer app helps you stay committed to your daily prayer practice. Beautiful and peaceful, the app includes an adjustable timer, as well as opening and closing prayer options that you can read before and after your silent prayer time. A selection of sounds and backgrounds allows you to create the environment you prefer for your prayer time. Brief instructions for learning Centering Prayer are also included.
To begin with, it is recommended that you practice being in relationship with God through Centering Prayer twice a day for 20 minutes.
