The Welcoming Prayer (Zoom) Mar. 16, 2022

March 16, 2022 @ 8:00 am - 12:00 pm

In this time of Pandemic with so much to deal with, the practice of The Welcoming Prayer can be most helpful. The Welcoming Prayer is a method of consenting to God’s presence and action in our physical and emotional reactions to events and situations in daily life. The purpose of the Welcoming Prayer is to deepen our relationship with God through consenting in the ordinary activities of our day — “consent-on-the-go.” There will be opportunities for questions and discussion. Prerequisite: Introduction to Centering Prayer or an established Centering Prayer practice.

Retreat Director: Sister Mary McGehee, OSB

Fee: $35
