The warm days of summer seem to softly say “Be Still and Know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10). All earth seems to honor the whisper. Do you?
Thomas Keating, in his Contem-plative Outreach June Newsletter message, explains that “the breath is what the term ‘spirit’ means in biblical languages; a symbol of life that is always pre-sent”. Noticing the breath is very gentle and subtle. Some people prefer using the sacred breath as a symbol of their consent in Cen-tering Prayer. It is the sacred breath or sacred word or sacred glance that leads to total self-surrender.
Gail Fitzpatrick-Hopler, a deeply spiritual woman and CEO of CO, points out in the same newsletter that “interest in contemplation has revived and is attracting the interest of many. Facebook has an online community of over 500 people who Prac-tice CP and Twitter has over a 1000’! It has even found its way into Western busi-ness…ie. Peter Singe’s book “The Fifth Discipline: The Art and Practice of Learning Organization”. Gail goes on to point out that CP teaches us how to wait – to stop, become aware and listen. In doing so, we deepen our understanding of people and circumstances.
We have scheduled a spiritually nourishing year of prayer days and retreats that are listed on the next page. We hope you will be able to unite with us in prayer and share your inspired insights. Your presence makes a difference!
I am happy to announce that Bob Gregory will be joining our lead-ership team as assistant coordinator. He has been practicing Cen-tering Prayer for 5 years, attends our Sat. Prayer Days and retreats and co-facilitates the Centering Prayer group at Sacred Heart in Hartsdale. He is retired from teaching and coaching in the NYC schools after 30 years.
We are grateful to Dorothy Carolin for having been our co-coordinator. Her deep wisdom and acumen has been a blessing.
