Virtual Silent Saturday/Prayer of the Heart with Julie Saad

Contemplative Outreach of Columbus is offering a Virtual Silent Saturday. A Silent Saturday provides a few hours that are set aside for Centering Prayer, Lectio Divina, spiritual teaching and reflection. Come rest in the Lord.

Lectio Divina: Prayer of the Heart

Advent is a season of quiet where we wait with hopeful anticipation for the coming of the Word of God. We’ll explore both how the Word of God is alive and our call to Become a presence of the Word of God amid the world. How can Lectio Divina as the Prayer of the Heart enable our receptivity to God for our healing and transformation? God will bring us into fullness of being. May the Word of God shape us into the persons that we are meant to be. Through the Word, we will grow in openness to God’s presence and action in our lives.

Julie is the author of Contemplative Life: Discovering Our Path into the Heart of God. Julie practices and teaches Centering Prayer and the other contemplative practices outlined in the book. She has been a part of Contemplative Outreach since 1994. Currently, she teaches a contemplative living course through The Center for Lifelong Learning at Columbia Theological Center in Atlanta.

Expect that the day will begin at 8:30am and last until 2:30pm. Eastern Standard Time (EST).
