The summer is upon us and what a great time to learn about a new spiritual practice. Although summer can be a time for rest and relaxation, the busyness of our life continues to make its demands. How do we balance our desire to be in the presence of God with the tasks of everyday life? Centering Prayer may provide a method for you to find divine peace and to be present with the indwelling God. Centering Prayer is a form of Contemplative Prayer, opening our hearts and minds to God, the Ultimate Mystery, beyond any thoughts, words and feelings. It is a prayer in silence, practicing what the Psalmist teaches us: “Be still and know that I am God.”
The Episcopal Church of the Holy Spirit, 36 Gould Street, Verona has started a weekly Centering Prayer Group on Wednesdays at 7:30 p.m. in the basement. Plan to attend as many as possible. For more information or if you have any questions, please contact the Rev. Jerry A. Racioppi at [email protected] or 973-239-2850. Blessings and peace to you!
