Into the deep

Centering is a prayer of surrender, sometimes known as apophatic prayer.  The particular practice we follow was developed by Thomas Keating and Contemplative Outreach and we use a sacred word to focus our intention.

Every Thursday at midday

For those twenty minutes we practice letting go all thoughts and distractions as we consent to the presence and action of God. It’s a gym for our surrender muscle. 

In Omega Clapton we call this the prayer period the “Angelus” to mark the Christian practice of stopping whatever we are doing at midday to say the rosary.
