Wednesday Respite Online Service
A 30-min contemplative service of scripture, prayer, music and a Touchpoint homily by Spirit in the Desert spiritual director, Henry Rojas.
Spirited Centering Prayer
Centering Prayer is founded on the basic goodness of human nature and is a way of cultivating union with God through silence and surrender. It is said that one may or may not “feel” the presence of God during centering prayer but, with repeated practice, one grows into a deeper sense of God’s abiding presence in all places and at all times.
