Prayer for Peace
3rd Mondays | 10:00-11:00 a.m. | Zoom only
Contemplation is not withdrawal from action, but the source of it.—Thomas Merton
Following a 20 minute sit in Centering Prayer or other silent meditation we will watch and discuss a video strengthening our compassionate presence in action.
All are welcome. Bring your prayers, your grief, your hope, your wisdom. This is a collaboration of Being New and Contemplative Outreach of Central Iowa (COCI).
