Contact Us Centering Prayer An Overview by Fr. Basil Pennington, o.c.s.o., Chairman of the Mastery Foundation Ministry today makes unprecedented demands upon us. Our own needs and the needs of those we serve are greater than ever.
Technology brings the whole world to our doorstep and to the doorstep of our hearts.
And we are expected to be there, with the door wide open for one and all. We cannot wait till the annual retreat or vacation to get recharged. We need each day, indeed each moment, to be in touch with the Source that can empower and enliven our ministries and ourselves. We learn how to come into immediate contact with the Source of all energy, life, and love. Through the regular practice of Centering Prayer we come to be centered ourselves, to be an oasis of peace, to be a place where God's love shows up in this world of ours.
