CONTEMPLATION
United in Prayer Day

Abbot Joseph Boyle, OCSO  
shares 
Images & stories that accompany My Prayer  
   
Images--a helpful way to explore reality; make a deeper impression on us than mere works; lead to other images.

We desire to be deeper than our circumstances.

Centering prayer allows God to find us.  It is not our work, but God's work.

God's own life is a prayer flowing through us to bring forth fruit.

"Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit.  For apart from me you can do nothing." 
John 15"5
