Julian Contemplative Prayer

The Julian Contemplative Prayer groups meets on the 2nd Monday of month at 7:00pm.

We seek to be aware of the presence of God and to remain silently and attentively in that presence, completely open to God.

Contemplative prayer has been part of Christianity from the beginning. Jesus spent whole nights alone in prayer. The Desert Fathers and our own Celtic hermits sought places to be alone with God. But for some centuries Christian churches neglected this most basic form of Prayer – it became usual only in monastic communities. There are now many Julian Meetings throughout the country.

Julian of Norwich (born 1342) was a celebrated mystic whose Revelations of Divine Love is generally considered one of the most remarkable documents of medieval religious experience. She spent the latter part of her life as a recluse or anchoress.
