CONTEMPLATION

 A DIVINE GIFT
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.          Matthew 5:9

A peacemaker prays. 
Prayer is the beginning and the end,
 the source and the fruit, 
the core and the content, 
the basis and the goal for all peacemaking.

 I say this without apology because it allows me to go straight to the heart of the matter, which is that peace is a divine gift,
 a gift we receive in prayer...

When we want to make peace, we first have to move away from the dwelling places of those who hate peace and enter into the house of Him who offers us peace. 
This entering into a new dwelling place
 is what prayer is all about.

CALLING  

UNITED IN PRAYER DAY
March 19, 2016

This special event celebrates silence 
as a source of relationship with our Creator 
and with all Creation. 

We invite you to join in silence 
with the worldwide community of Contemplative Outreach as a sign of unity and peace 
with and for the whole human family.
 
It's more important than ever to move beyond ourselves, beyond our groups and communities, and come together in prayer 
for the healing of this world.  

One way to participate in this event  with others is to organize an in-home retreat.   Another is to be a part of the 24-hour prayer vigil.  For detailed information about planning your retreat and signing-up to participate in the prayer vigil, please  go to the Contemplative Outreach website.
