What is Centering Prayer? What are its origins? Is it a form of New Age meditation, or a thoroughly Catholic prayer method that can lead to contemplation? Connie Rossini digs into the writings and public statements of Fr. Thomas Keating, creator of the Centering Prayer movement. She compares his words with the writings of St. Teresa of Avila on prayer and the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith on New Age spirituality. This Second Edition also responds to author Kess Frey, who was commissioned by Contemplative Outreach to write a book answering critics of Centering Prayer. Foreword by Dr. Anthony Lilles, Dean of St. John's Seminary in Camarillo, California. Find out if Centering Prayer is a reliable method for union with God, or a counterfeit that Catholics should avoid
