Timeline

1923

Thomas Keating, O.C.S.O. (March 7, 1923 – October 25, 2018) was an American Catholic monk and priest of the Order of Cistercians of the Strict Observance (also known as Trappists).

Keating was known as one of the principal developers of Centering Prayer, a contemporary method of contemplative prayer that emerged from St. Joseph's Abbey in Spencer, Massachusetts.

Keating was born in New York City in March 1923 and attended Deerfield Academy, Yale University, and Fordham University.

1975

Keating was one of three principal developers of centering prayer, a contemporary method of contemplative prayer that emerged from St. Joseph's Abbey in 1975.

William Meninger and Basil Pennington, also Trappist monks, were the method's other principal developers.

1984

In 1984 Keating, along with Gustave Reininger and Edward Bednar, co-founded Contemplative Outreach, Ltd., an international and ecumenical spiritual network that teaches the practice of Centering Prayer and Lectio Divina, a method of prayer drawn from the Christian contemplative tradition.

Contemplative Outreach provides a support system for those on the contemplative path through a wide variety of resources, workshops, and retreats.

1993

In his 1993 article, Clarifications Regarding Centering Prayer, Keating suggests that Jesus describes a panentheistic rather than pantheistic view of God:"Pantheism is usually defined as the identification of God with creation in such a way that the two are indistinguishable. Panentheism means that God is present in all creation by virtue of his omnipresence and omnipotence, sustaining every creature in being without being identified with any creature. The latter understanding is what Jesus seems to have been describing when he prays 'that all might be one, Father, as we are one' and 'that they may also be in us' (John 17:22). Again and again, in the Last Supper discourse, he speaks of this oneness and his intentions to send his Spirit to dwell within us. If we understand the writings of the great mystics rightly, they experience God living within them all the time.

Thus the affirmation of God's transcendence must always be balanced by the affirmation of his imminence both on the natural plane and on the plane of grace."

2014

When the concept was first proposed by Keating, Meninger started teaching a method based on the 14th-century spiritual classic The Cloud of Unknowing.

Meninger referred to this as the "Prayer of the Cloud" and taught it to priests at the retreat house.

Pennington gave the first retreat to a lay audience in Connecticut where the participants suggested the term "centering prayer".

Since Thomas Merton had been known to use the term prior to this, it has been suggested the phrase may have originated from him.

2018

Keating died at St. Joseph's Abbey, Spencer, Massachusetts on 25 October 2018, aged 95 years old.
