“One of the values of centering prayer is that you are not thinking
about God during the time of centering prayer so you are giving God a chance to
manifest. In centering prayer there are moments of peace that give the psyche a
chance to realize that God may not be so bad after all. God has a chance to be
himself for a change.” —Trappist monk Thomas Keating (1923-2018) quoted in “Resting in God: An Interview with Fr. Thomas Keating, OSCO," Common
Boundary, Sept./Oct. 1997
