Dear friends

We are starting our new year with enthusiasm to keep our community growing and connected. Our objectives for this new year are: to offer the opportunity of Silent Days of Prayer, to support the trainees for Commissioned Presenters for Introduction to Centering Prayer Workshop, to implement more Introductory Workshops for Centering Prayer per year so new people will be exposed to Centering Prayer as a practice to foster the process of transformation in Christ in one another, and to increase our connections with our prayer groups offering programs for enrichment.

During our Moving into the Future meeting last November, the group emphasizes the necessity to have established some days of Silent during the year. We are listening and working hard to make this a reality in our community. We are in the process to have at least 2 or 3 days of Silent Days during this year.

The training of new people as Commissioned Presenters for Introduction to Centering Prayer Workshop started last October and 5 local people are working to fulfill all the requirements to be Commissioned for the end of this year.

We already have 2 Introductory Workshops for Centering Prayer scheduled, in Sthrutters and in Wooster and we are planning to add 2 more in the Cleveland area.

For enrichment to our community, we are planning a retreat during the first weekend of October with Mary Dwyre at River’s Edge. We are in the process of selecting the theme for this retreat.  We created a service team to be in charge of the lending of the movie of Fr. Thomas Keating, Risen Tide of Silent. During 2015, Ronnie Pauer will be in charge for the DVD lending (lvpauer@sbcglobal.net) In addition, the leadership group is studying the possibility to offer the program of Living Flame in this area again, depending of the receptivity that we may have in our community. We are beginning to study the possibility to offer this program in 2016.

Below, you will find our events for this year. I will keep informed as I get more details for the events.

Blessings,

Josefina Fernandez

Thomas Merton describes the contemplative as someone who is fully awake. The contemplative is fully alive and living from the Source of Life known in our deepest self. Contemplative living has more to do with experience than doctrine. This class explores some of the salient resources that help define and form contemplative living. Special attention will be given to early Christian monasticism. The course goal is twofold: to gain knowledge about contemplative living and to deepen the practice of living contemplatively.

People should contact Bernadette LaGuardia  (216)-283-1507 for more information
