The catechism has much to say on the topic of contemplative prayer forms, particularly as they can move a person from a “friendly disposition” in our prayer life to one of “intimacy with God,” illuminating other prayers forms we might be practicing in a new light. Mater Dolorosa hosted an evening of Introduction to Centering prayer on the 11th November, 2018 and twenty-nine souls learned the method, practiced it, and prayed together. It was a wonderful experience and has resulted in setting up a permanent Centering Prayer group at Mater Dolorosa, which will meet weekly.

The sessions will be led by Dr. Michael Cunningham. Dr. Cunningham is a certified Centering Prayer instructor from Contemplative Outreach and will provide background, method and practice.
