Centering Prayer
This prayer should be made for about 20 minutes
After reflectively reading the text you want to pray
Find a comfortable place to sit.
Close your eyes
Choose a word that expresses your intention to be in God’s presence and open to his action. A word should be just one or two syllables. For example: – mother- father – grace – God – yes – let it be - here I am. You may prefer to choose an image rather than a word.
Let go of everything that is going on in your and around you. When you become aware of thoughts, feelings, sensations very gently return to your word or image enfolding yourself around it as tenderly as you would wrap a feather in a sheet of tissue paper.
At the end of the prayer time open your eyes and sit quietly for another two minutes. If you rush off straight away, you may leave behind the fruit of he prayer.
The fruit of this kind prayer often takes time to ripen. You may be surprised by a word of wisdom later in the as you are just going about your ordinary daily life.
