SUMMARY:Centering Prayer\, Introductory Program
DESCRIPTION:On Demand Retreat: This webcast is available at any time you are ready to take the program. There are several other bundled studies available in one registration. You can register for the event at:  \nhttps://retreats.houseofblessings.org/p/cp \nTraining in silent prayer: Centering Prayer is a receptive method of silent prayer that prepares us to receive the gift of contemplative prayer. In this prayer\, we experience God's presence within us. It is closer than breathing\, closer than thinking\, closer than consciousness itself. This prayer form\, as Fr. Keating says\, is both a relationship with God and a discipline to foster that relationship. \nCentering Prayer Adds depth to prayer life: Centering Prayer is not meant to replace other kinds of prayer. Centering Prayer adds depth of meaning to all prayer. It facilitates the movement from more active modes of prayer – verbal\, mental or affective prayer – into a receptive prayer of resting in God. Centering Prayer emphasizes prayer as a personal relationship with God and as a movement beyond conversation with Christ to communion with Christ. \nMeant for all people: This method is open to all people. There are no requirements or pre-requisites\, only your willingness to spend a few minutes twice a day.  \nWebcast: This webcast is available at any time you are ready to take the program.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Centering Prayer Workshop
DESCRIPTION:On Demand Retreat: This webcast is available at any time you are ready to take the program. There are several other bundled studies available in one registration. You can register for the event at:  \nhttps://retreats.houseofblessings.org/p/cp \nTraining in silent prayer: Centering Prayer is a receptive method of silent prayer that prepares us to receive the gift of contemplative prayer. In this prayer\, we experience God's presence within us. It is closer than breathing\, closer than thinking\, closer than consciousness itself. This prayer form\, as Fr. Keating says\, is both a relationship with God and a discipline to foster that relationship. \nCentering Prayer Adds depth to prayer life: Centering Prayer is not meant to replace other kinds of prayer. Centering Prayer adds depth of meaning to all prayer. It facilitates the movement from more active modes of prayer – verbal\, mental or affective prayer – into a receptive prayer of resting in God. Centering Prayer emphasizes prayer as a personal relationship with God and as a movement beyond conversation with Christ to communion with Christ. \nMeant for all people: This method is open to all people. There are no requirements or pre-requisites\, only your willingness to spend a few minutes twice a day.  \nWebcast: This webcast is available at any time you are ready to take the program.

SUMMARY:Forgiveness Prayer Weekend Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Centering Prayer Retreat: Forgiveness Prayer  \nSt. Joseph Retreat Center  \n850 Hylan Blvd.\, Staten Island\, NY 10305 \nApril 24\, 2020 @ 4:00 pm – April 26\, 2020 @ 2:00 pm EDT \nFacilitated by Therese Saulnier  \nArrival Friday 4:00 PM; Departure Sunday 2:00 PM \nOvernight Retreatants: $250 Single Occupant; $200 Double Occupant \nThree Day Commuter: $150 per person (A non-refundable deposit of $50 is due one week prior to retreat.) \nTo register or inquire about the retreat contact St. Joseph Retreat Center: www.daughtersofdivinecharity.org – stjretreatcenter@gmail.com – 718.720.1097 or see the flyer below under "Additional information."\n	 \n	Therese Saulnier is a long-standing member of Contemplative Outreach.  She has been praying Centering Prayer for over 30 years and praying the Forgiveness Prayer for over 25 years. Therese shares her experience that before she learned the Forgiveness Prayer she really did not know how to forgive.  Therese will share the process of forgiveness and share a way to open to God’s healing presence and action in our search for forgiveness – the Forgiveness Prayer.    There will also be Centering Prayer periods during the retreat.  \n\n	What is the Forgiveness Prayer? \n	Come to the Forgiveness Prayer Workshop and explore the need for forgiveness and the nature of forgiveness. Come to learn the Forgiveness Prayer\, a way to open to God’s healing presence and action when you are hurt\, wounded or offended. The Forgiveness Prayer is a prayer in which we open to God’s grace to learn to forgive.  \n\n	When the disciples asked Jesus how to pray\, he taught them the Lord’s Prayer. In this prayer Jesus teaches us that forgiveness is one of the essential conditions out of which all of our prayer must proceed if it is to be acceptable to God. \n	The command is clear: if you are a Christian\, you must forgive. But there are two very powerful\, often problematic questions involved with this imperative: \n	How do I forgive? What if I want to forgive but cannot?  \n\n	Experience with Centering Prayer is suggested for participants.
