Imaginative contemplation prayer is a way of meeting Christ in the Gospel.
The aim is to have a personal encounter with Jesus. So take some time to work through this and don't rush it. |

Centring Prayer:
- Sit comfortably with your eyes closed, relax, and quiet yourself.
- Silently say the word 'Jesus' - you can repeat the word over to yourself if it helps you to focus
- If your thoughts drift just return to the word 'Jesus' - again repeating it if you need to focus yourself
- Allow God to speak to you in your stillness and in the quiet.
- Stay with this for 5 minutes
- At the end of the prayer period, remain in silence with eyes closed for a couple of minutes.
