Centering_Prayer

As we move into our inmost being, we are given openness of heart
and a refined inward eye to perceive the mystery of the Divine
everywhere and in everything.
… that which is hidden from our senses and

intellect becomes more and more transparent
as we are being transformed into the mind and heart of Christ.

Fr. Thomas Keating

Heartfulness: Transformation in Christ condenses the accumulated wisdom of Fr. Thomas Keating's many years of teaching and practice into nine essential areas for study, reflection and spiritual growth for our time. The interviewer, Betty Sue Flowers, draws out of Fr. Thomas the importance of silence and contemplative practice as a means of opening the mind and heart and one's whole being to God, or the Ultimate Reality.

Each session “stands-alone”. Attend when schedule permits.  Newcomers always welcome.
