Brian Russell on Centering Prayer: A Path to Spiritual Connection

I think right now that we're in, God is calling all of us to become monastics, but sort of missional monastics who live in the world, who engage the rest of the world, and we need these practices to keep us rooted to Jesus so that we can then be light even in the darkest places.
