What is Centering Prayer?
Centering Prayer is a method designed to facilitate the development of Contemplative Prayer by preparing our faculties to receive this gift. It is an attempt to present the teaching of earlier times in an updated form. Centering Prayer is not meant to replace other kinds of prayer: rather it casts a new light and depth of meaning on them. It is at the same time a relationship with God and a discipline to foster that relationship. This method of prayer is a movement beyond conversation with Christ to communion with him.

And the Word became Flesh?!!

thechapeloftheholyspirit — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 16:05:41 +0000

How good it is that we have a full twelve days to celebrate the feast of the Incarnation. What a wild and wonderful, totally miraculous event for us to try to get our hearts and minds around!

Our God was made flesh. Our God took human flesh upon himself in order to join us, to love us, to save us. Whoa- now that is GOOD NEWS!

It was a joy to sing our hymns and hear our readings on Christmas Eve. And we encourage you to take a little time out to celebrate the season. Perhaps you can light a candle for a few minutes a day and enjoy some quite. Perhaps you can meditate in front of an icon or image of the Holy Family. God is in our midst. Let’s take a little time out this season to pay attention. Merry Christmas to you!

Grace and Peace,

Your Friends at the Chapel of the Holy Spirit
