“When there is no more sense of an “I” (ego), the great I AM takes over our lives.”
– Fr. Thomas Keating, Reflections on the Unknowable
What is humility? And how do we practice it? What role does humility play in Centering Prayer and transformation?
With Fr. Thomas Keatings’ Reflections on the Unknowable and Philippians 2 as our guides, together we will explore the transformative practice of humility.
Through Centering Prayer, Lectio Divina, and faith-sharing, we will reflect on humility as a practice. This workshop will challenge common misconceptions about humility and expand our awareness of humility as a pathway to transforming union with God.
