FYI - “Centering Prayer” is banned in these forums. The Jesus prayer pre-dates popular CP.

What do you think is wrong with the prayer?

The Jesus Prayer is taught in the Catechism if that makes you feel more confident about it.

no, it’s not a centering prayer
it’s mostly used by Eastern Catholics and Eastern Orthodox
but they don’t pray it like a mantra (which is what centering prayer would be, I guess), the right thing to do is to focus on the words… it can be a very humbling prayer
some say it’s a good idea to pray this under the guidance of a spiritual director/spiritual father

Check out Peter Kreeft’s article on the Jesus Prayer. This should answer anyone’s questions about this wonderful of all prayers.

Not only is it OK, but you can even do it with a proper prayer rope, or CHOTKI:byzsoc:
Here is a link:compcoff:

Warning from a Chotki user. Try not to pray with the rope around cats. As far as the cats are concerned, it is a dangle toy:yup:
