Centering Prayer changed everything for me. It took away all my fears, and it helped me to understand that all the emotions – the anger, the irritability, impatience, intolerance – were coming from that fear inside of me. And so, as the fears waned, then the patience and tolerance increased. I became more me, or perhaps, I should say, the way God intends me to be.
La Oración Centrante cambió todo en mi. Me quitó todos los miedos y me ayudó a comprender que todas las emociones – la ira, la irritabilidad, la impaciencia, la intolerancia – provenían del miedo que había en mi. Y así, a medida que los miedos desaparecían, la paciencia y la tolerancia iban en aumento. Me he tornado más yo misma, o quizá debería decir, más de la forma en que Dios quiere que sea.
