Overview of the Prayer
Labyrinth
The prayer labyrinth is a winding path that
leads unerringly to the center. After you reach the center
turn around and walk the same winding path out again. The
prayer labyrinth can help calm the mind, relax the body,
reduce stress, and provide space that helps guide your mind
and heart in prayer. The labyrinth only requires that you
persist in your journey.
The path is a metaphor for our journey with
Christ. Walking toward the center, we can release cares and
concerns and empty and quiet ourselves before God. When we
surrender to the winding path, we can find wholeness and
healing. We find a place for meditation and prayer in the
center, where we can find clarity in our lives. As we walk
back out to the edge, on the same path, we can find we are
empowered to be more authentic in ourselves and in our
service to the world.
