Centering Prayer
Every Wednesday of Lent at 7:10am (except Ash Wednesday)we will meet in the Sanctuary of St. Leo's Church for Centering Prayer. Centering Prayer is a method of prayer, which prepares us to receive the gift of God’s presence, traditionally called contemplative prayer. It consists of responding to the Spirit of Christ by consenting to God’s presence and action within. It furthers the development of contemplative prayer by quieting our faculties to cooperate with the gift of God’s presence. Centering Prayer facilitates the movement from more active modes of prayer - verbal, mental or affective prayer - into a receptive prayer of resting in God. It emphasizes prayer as a personal relationship with God. At the same time, it is a discipline to foster and serve this relationship by a regular, daily practice of prayer. It is Trinitarian in its source, Christ-centered in its focus, and Ecclesial in its effects; that is, it builds communities of faith. |

A Book Study for Lent will be offered, at St Leo's, meeting numerous times during the weeks of Lent and the beginning of Easter season. Starting Sunday, February 14
or Wednesday February 17, The Holy Year of Mercy, A Faith-Sharing Guide with Reflections by Pope Francis will be offered on either Wednesdays or Sundays. Groups will meet for about an hour in the Gathering Room, unless otherwise instructed, at 9:40am or 5pm on Sundays and again at 9:40am or 5pm on Wednesdays. If you are interested in this Lenten book study please sign up for the specific day and time you prefer on the sheets in the Gathering Space or at the main office. Take advantage of this opportunity to grow in your understanding of God’s precious gift of Mercy. The book is simple, easy-to-use study guide that challenges and is thought provoking. It is divided into eight sessions, each focused on a particular insight into God’s mercy. Participants will be expected to read the Scripture taking time necessary to meditate on it. Then move to the commentary from Pope Francis pondering his words and reflect on God’s mercy. Each session contains two sets of questions; to help understand the Scripture and its relevance to life. Questions of “Understanding!” and to “Grow!” as well as questions of “Reflect!” and “Acts” will offer suggestions to help you respond concretely to the passages. The sessions will open with a prayer. Group participants will be expected to contribute to the discussions, realizing that there are more than one answer to the questions. Confidentiality is extremely important for the dignity of everyone. The session will end with a prayer and assignment of the next chapter. |
