Fr. Thomas Keating

Father Thomas Keating was a Catholic priest and Trappist monk known for promoting contemplative prayer and Christian mysticism. He emphasized the importance of silent meditation and inner stillness as a way to deepen one’s relationship with God. Keating helped popularize Centering Prayer, a method of contemplative practice that encourages interior silence and openness to God's presence. His teachings highlight the transformative power of prayer for personal growth and spiritual awakening, fostering a quiet, receptive attitude. Keating's work continues to influence many seeking a deeper, more mindful spiritual life beyond traditional religious practices.
