“Martha, Martha, you are worried and anxious about many things …

 but one thing is needful.” Luke 10:42 

The Mary and Martha story is an example of the focus we can bring to everyday life activities.  As the Welcoming Prayer 40-day practice booklet reminds us: “To assist this process, we need complementary practices.  Centering Prayer teaches us consenting in stillness; the Welcoming Prayer practice teaches us consenting in activity.”

“The Welcoming Prayer practice is a way of letting go into the present moment in the ordinary routines of daily life.  It is used when your needs for security, affection and control are frustrated or gratified and cause emotional reactions.  It is a way of turning everything over to God …”  Thomas Keating, Open Mind, Open Heart

The presenters are part of the community of the Center for Contemplative Living in Denver, CO. Over the years, they have been blessed through the presence and teachings of Thomas Keating, OCSO, and Mary Mrozowski, as well as many other spiritual leaders. 

We hope to see you at our workshop.  May you be open to including the Welcoming Prayer in your invitation to the Holy Spirit to extend the walls of your inner room to all of life.
