United in Prayer Day
A globally-hosted 24-hour day of prayer accessible via Zoom
In the global unity of silence as God’s first language,
we honor Fr. Thomas Keating’s birthday (March 7)
and the growing presence of Christ among us.
Join in silence and community at any time, as many times as you are able. Each hour will begin with at least 20 minutes of Centering Prayer, followed by an offering from the hosting group, which may include a video segment, the practice of Lectio Divina, selected readings, community sharing, chanting, etc. You can find the link to participate at the bottom of this page beneath the schedule.
