Centering Prayer
The Centering Prayer Group at COTS
Learn about this way of silent meditation and join us as a start to some of your mornings. We pray together via Zoom at 7:30am M-F for a 20-minute practice, We welcome occasional and one-time participation. Our group has been practicing this prayer on a daily basis for the past 3 years. Please reach out to the office if you are interested in joining.
Centering prayer is a kind of Christian meditation that fosters interior silence, where we seek to be open to God’s action and presence in us. We look for a place in ourselves, deeper than our thoughts and emotions, where we can rest in a still place at the spiritual level of our being. We learn to withdraw our attention from our ordinary flow of thoughts and our concerns about our daily lives. Where much of the time, our prayer life can be described as us talking to God, in this meditative practice we listen for God.
Over time, this way of praying can bring us closer to a felt sense of God’s presence in our daily activity
Our weekday morning group begins at 7:30am with a reading, primarily from the Psalms, then a 30
minute session of silent Centering Prayer, and ending with the same reading. We rotate through our
regular participants, each person taking a week to convene, lead and time our prayer.
