Q: I am fairly new to the practice of Centering Prayer. In my Catholic faith I participate weekly in the Adoration of our Lord through the Eucharist. I feel at times the urge to practice my Centering Prayer during this quiet hour of adoration. Is the practice of Centering Prayer during adoration contrary to the intentions of either adoration and/or Centering Prayer?
A: The recent renewal of Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament for so many is a true gift. It is a celebration of the real Presence and an invitation from the Lord “to come rest with me.” Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament is an ideal companion to the practice of Centering Prayer.
Let me share with you a response that I gave to similar question, which you can find here on our website.
