Centering prayer

Centering prayer is a special kind of prayer where you sit quietly and focus on just one thing. It's like having a special secret code word that you repeat over and over again inside your head. This special word is called a "sacred word."

When you sit quietly, it can be hard to stop your thoughts from racing all around in your head. But if you use your sacred word to help you, it can help you block out all those other thoughts and just focus on one thing.

Centering prayer is a way of connecting with God that helps you feel calm and peaceful. It's like having a special quiet space inside your heart where you can talk to God in a really special way. Even though you might not feel like you're doing anything, you're actually building a really strong relationship with God.
