6 Invitation to Deepen your Relationship with God (A great gift to give yourself for Lent) Centering prayer is a meditative silent prayer practice within the Contemplative Tradition and is as old as our Judeo-Christian heritage. “Be still and know that I am God,” Psalm 46:10. It is a prayer practice taught by Jesus: “when you pray, go into your inner room, close the door and pray to your God in secret…” Matt. 6:6.

It is a disciplined prayer practice to deepen your most important relationship and to more fully experience God’s action and presence in your life. Sound familiar? Fr. Joe reminds us of this with each and every sermon he gives. A 40-day Lenten commitment to this prayer practice can, and will, change your life.

Join us on Saturday, March 2 from 9:00am-12:00pm in the Spirit Center, where we will introduce you to this practice. Registration begins at 8:30 am. Coffee and breakfast snacks will be provided. Please call the Parish Office at 941-923-1691 to register. If you need additional information, please call Bob Ferkenhoff at 941-350- 6920 or Noreen Polidoro at 941-228-1799.
