Product Details
Contemplative or centering prayer is an ancient prayer form which, along with meditation and other prayer practices, is rooted in the Eastern tradition of early Church prayers and in the wisdom of the early Church fathers. In Centering Prayer Renewing an Ancient Christian Prayer, author M. Basil Pennington, O.C.S.O. combines the best of these Eastern practices, such as the Jesus Prayer, with a spirituality for the world today. In chapters entitled A Gift from the Desert, To Be Who We Are, Keeping the Light of Tabor and a School of Compassion among others, he explains how to relax for prayer, how to listen to and be directed by God, and how to handle the distractions that can stifle attempts to communicate with God.
Pennington reminds the reader that the Second Vatican Council said that every Christian is called to enjoy contemplation and deep union with God and not just those considered to be deeply spiritual or just a select few. Centering Prayer offers several simple and helpful forms to use to get started and has practical suggestions to encourage those having discouraging problems with praying.
