During this introduction to contemplative prayer, we will explore Centering Prayer as well as the Ignatian method of using our imagination to draw us deeper into Biblical stories.Centering Prayer is a simple method that helps us welcome God's presence into our inner being as we pray. It involves sitting quietly, perhaps using a "sacred word", image or our breath to gently let go of distracting thoughts when they come, thus opening ourselves again to God’s presence.
The Ignatian method of imaginative prayer helps us enter a Gospel scene using all five senses. By visualizing the setting, hearing, smelling, and touching, we engage with Jesus personally, allowing the scene to unfold in the imagination to foster a deeper, intimate relationship with God.
All are welcome, and light refreshments will be provided.
