A collection of essays published by Lantern in October 2001 (112 pages), opening and closing with essays by Keating, "The Divine Indwelling" and "The Practice of Intention/Attention". Between them are essays by Thomas R. Ward on centering prayer and the Church, Sarah A. Butler on lectio divina as a tool for discernment, George F. Cairns on centering prayer and transpersonal psychology, Gail Fitzpatrick-Hopler on the spiritual network of Contemplative Outreach, and Paul David Lawson on contemplation and parish leadership. The publisher describes the book as expounding centering prayer and applying it to discernment and parish work, valuable for practised readers rather than as an introduction.
