• Be in faith and love of God who dwells in the center of our being. • Use a meaningful love or prayer word to remain prl'St'nt. Begin to repeat this word inwardly. • During the umc of prayer, 1f distractions occur, use the love word tu retum to the Lord Father P, nningtun recommended using centering prayt'r about 20 minutes twice a day "It is a prayer of <'Xperience, so we can only know it by experience," he said. Because the prayer takes place at another level of consciousness (other levels being waking, sleeping and dreaming), the rational mind cannot judge it It must be Judg d by its fruits, he said. Some participants questioned the fact that centering prayer may not be suitable for all personality types. Father Pennington responded, "Contemplative prayer 1s a prayer of being and we all be, no matter what personality type.'' It 1s through this contemplative prayer that Merton found freedom "from those things which enslave us ," Father Pennington explained, adclmg Merton's spiritual journey was this quest for freedom. "What matlers is the freedom to be m contact with the center," the source of all freedom, Merton wrote. Freedom li,~ in the capacity to choose what really is, Father Pennington explained. Rick Egan, a youth mmister al St. Francis Church in Vista who also participated in the lectures, said he had tried contemplative prayer before and wanted the opponumty to be taught m person. "I need prayer every day for the work I do. I know it works because there is more peace in my life; my body and spirit become one," Egan added.

ALCALA PARK - Over 100 people "tuned out" to experience c~ntering pray rat a thre<'·night lecture series given by Father Basil Pennin1,"lon, OCSO, a Cistercian mo11k, at the Umversn:· ,,1 San Diego June 21. Father Pennington poke about Thomas Merton, a fellow monk, spirituru model and author. citing his contributions to the Catholic Church and society Through his presentations, Father Pennington shared !\1erton's contemplative form of prayer and put into context hi spirnualjourncv. kl"y moments in tha1journey and ho participant might apply Merton's experience, to their ov.-n h ·e "This ancient form of prayer dates back to the 5th century." explained Father Pennington. "It was known as prayer of the hi,art, with hcart meaning the deepest place within us. Through 1erton, it received a new name - centering prayer - to go to the deepest center of oneself, pass through t and be with Goel," he continued. Various letters from Merton have enabled Father Pennington to capture the es. •·nse of this prayer. '.\.1crton ,vrote his method of meditat on "is centered entirely on the presence of God his viii and his love." Clarifying Merton's thought, Father Pennington said, ''This does not mean imagining God It means to be all there." In Father Pennington's words, centering prayer is "a very simple way of prayer which can be used b~ anyon.- who wants to be with Goel, to experience his love and presence. It is a prayer of longing that leads into a prayer of presence." The speaker gave three steps in centering prayer:
