I couldn't put my finger on why this wasn't my favorite, but throughout the book I kept thinking, I should read something else. It might have been because the author quotes Keating so much, especially from Keating's book Open Mind, Open Heart, that I thought-why am I reading this book when I could be reading that one. Frenette is a follower of Keating, in at least writing content, so he focuses on Keating's stuff a lot. "Practicing centering prayer awakens one to deeper meaning, as life itself becomes a spiritual journey. With centering prayer and Christian contemplation, instead of just a belief, God becomes a living reality." "This book, in my view, is the best, most comprehensive, and most practical book on centering prayer." Father Thomas Keating, "father" of centering prayer. Centering Prayer is a monologistic (one word) method of contemplative prayer. This book gives an overview of the practice, what the author has learned from personal experience and on retreat with his mentor, Father Thomas Keating. Part I of the book describes centering prayer and ways to deepen in the practice (if you are practitioner who is stuck). Part II focuses on postures of prayer: consent, opening and recognizing, simplicity, gentleness, letting go and letting be, resting, embracing and being embraced, integrating life and contemplation. I am not a regular practitioner of centering prayer, though I am interested in cultivating a constant awareness of the divine in prayer, and have attempted to enter into this type of prayer (there is an app for that). I appreciate what Frenette said about the posture and attitudes that enable true contemplation, though his description of the method of centering prayer, still felt opaque to me. And he quotes Keating so much I wondered if I should just read his book instead. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
