Centering Prayer is for anyone serious about becoming freer to realize and fulfill the call summed up on these words: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength, and all your mind, and love your neighbor as yourself." (Matthew 22:37) Centering Prayer is a very simple way of prayer which can be used by anyone who wants to be with God and experience God's love and presence.
