The Welcoming Prayer Practice Created by Mary Mrozowski

The Welcoming Prayer Practice created by Mary Mrozowski is a good sitting or “as-you-go” exercise. It was influenced by her training in biofeedback, Thomas Keating’s teachings on the False/True Self, and Jean Pierre de Caussade's Abandonment to Divine Providence. Here are some of the points discussed by Carmen in this brief video: 1/ Focus. Feel. Sink. Hearth. Touch. Drop in. Scan body. Become aware of sensation/s. Be present with them. 2/ Welcome what you are experiencing in your body as a way to say yes to the Divine/Love/God/Presence/True Self. Wel-come = will/pleasure + cuma/guest. Say: “Welcome, frustration….grief…joy…fear…anger….” You welcome only the physical or psychological content. You are not welcoming an external situation, like cancer. Cynthia Bourgeault reminds, you are not “passively aquiesc[ing] to situations that are in fact intolerable.” 3/ Let it go when you feel it is time. There is no need to rush. You might go between noticing and feeling and being with (1) and welcoming (2) for a while. When you feel ready, say: “I let go of my frustration, etc.” You might also add, if you feel comfortable doing so: “I let go of my cravings for security, affection, and control. I let go of my wish to change what I am feeling. I embrace this moment just as it is.” Please word however most helps you. This practice helps unburden acquired emotional programs and heal the wounds of a lifetime by meeting them where they are stored, which is in the body. Richard Schwartz’s Internal Family Systems work (No Bad Parts) can help us adapt this practice to our needs, and a therapist and spiritual direction can provide needed support also. Carmen is the award-winning translator of this 14th-century spiritual classic on praying without ceasing, by Anonymous. She has also given us the only complete translation of Brother Lawrence, called "the new standard" by reviewers: Practice of the Presence: a Revolutionary Translation by Carmen Acevedo Butcher. She leads contemplative prayer retreats and gives workshops on language, teaching, composition, creative writing, and translation. You're invited to listen in!

The Cloud was likely written by a Carthusian monk or priest, someone well acquainted with silence and lectio divina, steeping in wise words meditatively, or "eating" them, and Practice of the Presence was originally written by Nicolas Herman or Brother Lawrence of the Resurrection, a spiritual classic with diverse global appeal. He too knew silence well and lectio divina.
