Lift your hands with palms open as you consent to God's gift of transformation through the love of Christ.
Let your hands express your desire to simply receive the gift - His Presence. With your palms open, you are surrendering to Him - not grasping anything for yourself, not pushing or pulling but simply receiving.
Enter this time of centering prayer using your prayer word*, a symbol of your intention to receive the loving presence and transforming work of the Spirit of God.
*The sacred word expresses our intention to be in God's presence and to yield to the divine action. The sacred word should be chosen during a brief period of prayer asking the Holy Spirit to inspire us with one that is especially suitable for us. Examples might be: Lord, Abba, Father, Love, Peace, and Shalom.
