"The time that is over you do not have. The time that is coming is not certain for you. Only the present is yours" (St. Catherine of Siena). In contemplative prayer, we divest our minds of all thoughts and images in order to receive the pure and simple light of God directly into the summit of our souls. This retreat involves breath practice. It is for those who have begun the practice of non-conceptual prayer.

$237.18 (Single)

Father Thomas Leitner, OSB, holds a Master of Religious Studies from St. Louis University, St. Louis, MO, is the administrator of St. Benedict Center and has practiced contemplative prayer for 45 years.
