The contemplative journey is one of ever-deepening intimacy with God, self and neighbor. These resources offer a variety of Christ-centered contemplative practices and teachings that support the God-centered, prayer-filled life. It is our hope and prayer that the resources we offer will support people in all spiritual and religious traditions who are being called to the contemplative path.
