Contemplative Outreach is a spiritual network of individuals and small faith communities committed to living the contemplative dimension of the Gospel. The common desire for Divine transformation, primarily expressed through a commitment to a daily Centering Prayer practice, unites our international, interdenominational community. Let us revisit this past edition together. Recall the recent past, our journey since, and where we find ourselves in 2025. We will have time to share. Perhaps March 15th, 2025 during United In Prayer time. |
