Basil Pennington Quotes
Centering Prayer is an opening, a response, a putting aside of all the debris that stands in the way of our being totally present to the present Lord, so that He can be present to us. It is a laying aside of thoughts, so that the heart can attend immediately to Him. All prayer is a response. The Lord first knocks, beckons, calls to us.

Life is complex. Each one of us must make his own path through life. There are no self-help manuals, no formulas, no easy answers.
