20th Anniversary Edition of
Open Mind, Open Heart

The Contemplative Dimension
of the Gospel

by Father Thomas Keating

The fundamental purpose of Centering Prayer and Contemplative Outreach … is to contribute to bringing the knowledge and experience of God's love into the general consciousness of the human family.

Contemplative prayer is a process of interior transformation, a conversion initiated by God and leading, if we consent, to divine union. One's way of seeing reality changes in this process. A restructuring of consciousness takes place which empowers one to perceive, relate and respond to everyday life with increasing sensitivity to the divine presence in, through and beyond everything that happens.
