The Welcoming Prayer with Mary Dwyer
Presented by Contemplative Outreach of Central Florida
St. George Episcopal Church
The Villages, Florida
February 5-6, 2016
The Welcoming Prayer is a method of consenting to God’s presence and action in our physical and emotional reactions to events and situations in daily life. The purpose of the Welcoming Prayer is to deepen our relationship with God through consenting in the ordinary activities of our day. The Welcoming Prayer helps to dismantle the emotional programs of the false-self system and to heal the wounds of a lifetime by addressing them where they are stored — in the body. It contributes to the process of transformation in Christ initiated in Centering Prayer.

February 15, 2025 at 3:14 pmI love, love , love this presentation of the Welcoming Prayer. I have saved all the You Tube episodes and have listened to them several times. Mary Dwyer presents this subject in such a wonderfully understandable and relatable way. If she wrote a book on the Welcoming Prayer. I would buy it. Thank you so much Contemplative Outreach of Central Florida and Mary Dwyer.
