In the teachings of Jesus, there are prayers, and then there is prayer—the silent, loving communion with the divine beyond words or ritual. Now, with The Path of Centering Prayer, Father Thomas Keating’s senior student, friend, and advisor David Frenette reveals the more profound depths of this practice, making it easier for meditators to deepen their connection with God.
Beginning and experienced practitioners alike will benefit from this fresh writing voice, at once eloquent and clear, as they explore:
• The key insights and principles of Centering Prayer
• Guided instruction in the sacred word, sacred breath, and sacred glance practices
• Gentleness and openness: the way of letting go and letting be
• Welcoming stillness and spaciousness into ordinary activities
• Many other immersive contemplations and teachings founded upon the wisdom of Fathers Thomas Keating and Thomas Merton.
“Has my spiritual path grown routine or unfulfilling?” For the millions of Christians who seek to move closer into the presence of the divine, The Path of Centering Prayer offers guidance in this rewarding and time-honored meditation practice, to help break through obstacles and illuminate the way.
