David Steindl-Rast teaches that prayer and grateful living arise from attentive presence. By “stop, look, go,” we pause, notice life as gift, and respond with trust. Gratitude becomes a practice of awareness, receiving each moment as grace, deepening connection with God, others, and ourselves in everyday life.
Contemplative Outreach St. Louis invites you to a quiet morning of prayer and fellowship, resting in the Divine Presence. Silent Saturdays offer a gentle tase of going deeper into the silence-God’s first language.
On Saturday, June 20th, Frank Krebs will lay out and explain Thomas Merton’s main themes regarding meditation/contemplation, according to Merton’s student, James Finley.
Back to Basics is a gathering for anyone who would like a little "shot in the arm" for their Centering Prayer practice and for anyone who simply loves the prayer. Whether you are new to the practice, returning after some time away, or have been practicing for years, you are welcome.
