About 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.

Great app, has all the features I need

This app is wonderful- it’s got audio cues to let you know when to begin and end your practice. It also allows you to pause in case you need to stop for any reason. The app also stays on, so if you are worried about the phone turning off and then you’re just sitting in silence for too long - that won’t happen! I love all the audio cues and the fact you can add scripture or psalms or even quotes from saints before and after your practice. This is a must-have app for all centering prayer folks! I’m using it twice a day this Lenten season and loving it.

Great resource

I like the choices this Ap provides for starting and ending sounds, for starting and ending reflections, and even for screen background theme.
