Price History of Centering Prayer

Description of Centering Prayer

“God’s first word is silence.” -Thomas Keating Centering Prayer is a method of silent prayer that prepares us to receive the gift of contemplative prayer, prayer in which we experience God's presence within us, closer than breathing, closer than thinking, closer than consciousness itself. This method of prayer is both a relationship with God and a discipline to foster that relationship. Centering Prayer is not meant to replace other kinds of prayer; rather it casts a new light and depth of meaning on them. Centering Prayer is an ancient method of Christian prayer adapted for modern times by Fathers Thomas Keating, William Meninger and Basil Pennington. The Centering Prayer application will support your daily prayer practice commitment. Beautiful and peaceful, the app includes an adjustable timer, as well as opening and closing prayer options that you may read before and after your silent prayer time. An assortment of sounds and backgrounds allow you to choose the type of environment you want to create for your prayer time. Brief instructions for learning Centering Prayer are also included. It is recommended you practice being in relationship with God through Centering Prayer twice a day for 20 minutes to begin with.

  • Silence is God’s first language.

    ‘Silence is God’s first language everything else is a poor translation’ says Thomas Keating, and it is so true. Thank you to the App developers for creating a simple (in all the best ways) and beautiful App to enable a gentle time of silence and stillness before God. I have been practicing Centering prayer for some time when I was recommended this App and it has enhanced my experience of prayer. Thank you!

  • Lord’s Prayer

    I’ve been doing centering prayer every morning using the app. I don’t start my day with out it. So helpful for my spiritual life. I use the ending with Father Thomas saying the Lord’s Prayer. I wish that would be offered today as a ending prayer. Mine started many years ago. My friends can’t use it as it’s not offered. Please put it back as a choice for ending prayer. So helpful to hear Thomas’s voice.

  • Best timer

    I very much prefer the timer in this app over other apps that seem to turn meditation into a competition by showing you your consecutive days and accumulated minutes etc. This app focuses on facilitating centering prayer in a very effective way. I enjoy the option of adding a simple verse to begin and my favorite ending sound is the closing bell with Thomas Keating slowly reciting the Lord’s Prayer.
