Contemplative Prayer — Tuesdays, 10 am and 7:50 pm
The Contemplative Prayer tradition in the Christian Church is as old as Christianity itself. It is wordless prayer — time spent with God in order to deepen our relationship with him. It is quiet time, spent listening for his still, small voice. A relatively recent revival in the teaching of contemplation is growing through the Centering Prayer movement. Two pamphlets on Centering Prayer are available at the desk in the Narthex. If you would like to receive email updates about our meetings and meditations, please write jeanhite@comcast.net.

"Prayer is responding to God, by thought and by deeds, with or without words."
— The Book of Common Prayer, pg. 856


St. Mary's Library — Perfect for Quiet Study
In honor of the Icon-Writing Workshop, Feb. 12-16, the Library will display a selection of books on icons. One, by Archbishop Rowan Williams features four classical icons of Jesus and includes a concise introduction in which he illuminates the history and role of icons in Christian worship. Others, draw on the popular monastic practice of "lectio divina". The icons are seen as "texts" giving rise to meditation on the Christian mysteries, and leading to acts of prayer with special emphasis on the famous "Jesus Prayer." Visit our Library: Open your heart in deep prayer to the transforming vision of God's glory.
