“The fundamental purpose of prayer, including the prayer of petition, is not to get something from God, or to change God, but to change ourselves. We pray in order to give ourselves to God.”

The Heart of the World
~ Fr. Thomas Keating

“More than ever I feel your friendship and support and look forward to communion together in the Body of Christ, because whenever you sit down to prayer you´re in communion and union with everyone else, past or even future people who haven´t even been born yet. Everything is now in the mind and heart of God. Let us often go to be refreshed and to be encouraged by each other´s fidelity to the Centering Prayer practice.”

~ Fr. Thomas Keating
