BRUNSWICK — There will be a centering prayer workshop on Saturday, Sept. 13, from 10 a.m. to noon at St. Charles Borromeo Church.
The session will be facilitated by Adele Millette and is open to anyone, regardless of religious affiliation, who wants a deeper relationship with God.
The workshop will provide an opportunity to learn about and experience centering prayer, the prayer form that Jesus referred to as “prayer in secret” in the Sermon on the Mount. “This method of prayer helps people to consent to God’s presence and action within us, helps us to surrender our will completely to God, and gives us the opportunity to relate to God who dwells in secret, which is the silence of self,” states a news release.
To learn more about centering prayer, copies of the Rev. Thomas Keating’s book, “Open Mind, Open Heart,” are available in the St. Charles Church gift shop or online at www.contemplativeoutreach.org/.
For more information, contact Helene McGlauflin at mcglauflinh@gmail.com or 443-2722. St. Charles is located at 132 McKeen St.
