Looking to develop your relationship with God beyond mere friendship? Centering prayer prepares us to receive contemplation, a gift from God.

Utilizing four simple guidelines, centering prayer is a prayer of consent to God’s loving presence and action. This style of prayer has its roots in the early days of Christianity. Kept alive in the monasteries for all these centuries, centering prayer has been updated and taught to the religious and lay people by Fr. Thomas Keating and other contemplatives.

Sts. Peter and Paul Church has a centering prayer group, which meets in the church on Tuesday evenings at 7PM. Please enter the church thru the garage door and the courtyard, since the Kaheka Street doors are locked. Newcomers are encouraged to arrive before 7 PM for brief instructions on the method of centering prayer.

If this style of silent meditative prayer appeals to you, come join us! Should you have any questions, please email Norman at noshiro@hawaii.rr.com.
