Description

“God’s first word is silence.”
-Thomas Keating

Centering Prayer is a method of silent prayer that prepares us to receive the gift of contemplative prayer, prayer in which we experience God's presence within us, closer than breathing, closer than thinking, closer than consciousness itself. This method of prayer is both a relationship with God and a discipline to foster that relationship. Centering Prayer is not meant to replace other kinds of prayer; rather it casts a new light and depth of meaning on them. Centering Prayer is an ancient method of Christian prayer adapted for modern times by Fathers Thomas Keating, William Meninger and Basil Pennington.

The Centering Prayer application will support your daily prayer practice commitment. Beautiful and peaceful, the app includes an adjustable timer, as well as opening and closing prayer options that you may read before and after your silent prayer time. An assortment of sounds and backgrounds allow you to choose the type of environment you want to create for your prayer time. Brief instructions for learning Centering Prayer are also included.

It is recommended you practice being in relationship with God through Centering Prayer twice a day for 20 minutes to begin with.

More spoken options would be great

JJI Scottsdale,AZ on

I love this app, but I would love it more if there were more options as far as spoken prayers go. I love Father, Keating and the Lord‘s prayer, but it would be nice if they were more things like that so I don’t have to interrupt my eyes being closed and actually reading something. However, all in all, I really love this app, so thank you so much! It’s a blessing every day!

This Centering Prayer has helped me to become a better mediator. I am a Christian Catholic so it fits well with my bigger life purpose. Flexible with easy modifications. I am still a work in progress and meditation helps.

Great tool for centering prayer

Hortpatt on

I love it! It’s my companion in my daily centering prayer. Easy to use. Love the catalogue of prayers and the sounds to begin or end the practice.

A wonderful companion for centering prayer time

Ehansard on

The app feels more like a friend than a device. I’ve had a centering prayer practice for nearly 30 years, but I didn’t know about this app originally. (Maybe it wasn’t out.) Over the years I’ve chosen many different opening scripture passages, usually memorizing them after being with them so long. The same with the background images. I like the seasons, but over the years I’ve been drawn to different ones, which seem just right at the time. I prefer the gong sounds for opening and closing, but there are a variety to choose from which should meet anyone’s needs. I’ve recommended this app to so many people, and they’ve found it very helpful for their centering prayer practice. Easy to use, and such a variety of options. Blessings.

What a gift to those of us who practice!

MC Seward on

Our Centering Prayer group finds this app useful when we gather. We also use it individually. Great app!

My North Star to the truth

polkadotLu on

I can’t put into words what Centering Prayer has meant to me but that it brings me daily back to the truth. I can create the meditation that most clearly speaks to me and is flexible so I can change it when it feels necessary. And it is my own personal experience and relationship with ever healing silence which brings me into the heart of the world and the heart of the Creator. Thank you thank you thank you.
