Centering Prayer: An Overview + Defense

St. Lutgardis is a fascinating saint, mystic and stigmatist. She was the second reported stigmatist of the church, and was the first woman to receive the stigmata. Her story surrounding her apparitions of Jesus and His heart, were also precursors to the Sacred Heart devotion.

One of the most interesting practices to spring from The Cloud of Unknowing is Centering Prayer. This is a simple yet profound method of connecting with the divine, though it's also had some criticism.

The book was written by a mysterious monk, aiding his student in Christian contemplation - teaching him to unite with God by going beyond the intellect. This book was The Cloud of Unknowing, and today, we're discussing it. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/stanthonystongue/support
