Centering prayer is going well. Well, in that I have participated as promised, two times a day for twenty minutes, for two and a half days. I read up a little; the procedure itself is simple. Here’s my summary: sit quietly, close your eyes, and pray for God’s presence; pick a word (mine is Jesus) to think and to return to when your mind wanders; at the end of the time remain in silence for a few minutes before opening your eyes; offer prayers of gratitude.
I’ve been doing my centering prayer in La Badia because it is nearby and quiet. San Miniato al Monte, the church on the hill overlooking Florence would be another quiet church, but it is quite a hike to get there.
Here are my photos from visit there the other day.
