12 Practice for Daily Life: The Welcoming Prayer - Twelve Steps, Thomas Keating

Fr. Thomas was once heard to say that next to Centering Prayer, the Welcoming is the second most important prayer practice. We have Centering Prayer for an hour a day and the Welcoming Prayer for the other twenty-three. While this video is not a “how to” on the Welcoming Prayer, it provides the conceptual background that underlies the prayer practice-dismantling the emotional programs for happiness.

"When God saw that I couldn't be in a worse place, and that I accepted that, then he took it away." These words resonated deeply in me. Thank you for posting.
