Contemplative insight from Mepkin Abbey, drawn from our daily liturgical readings and homily. Help us to pray, one thought per day.
Struggle in evil
To do the good we intend
We can when in God
Seek first the Kingdom
God grants the fruits of labor
God endlessly works
1 Sep
Purity of hands
To purity of the heart
To encounter God
Fear stifles and daunts
Pass up opportunities
Waste and lose our gifts

Vigilance is wise
Coop up virtues, be ready
Handy when needed

Precursor, Witness
In birth, ministry and death
To Lord Jesus Christ

Restless is my heart
Until it rests in You, Lord
For I'm made for You

Be with Monica
Fervent with holy desires
Abound in good works!
- St Monica
Be with Monica
Fervent with holy desires
Abound in good works!
Never be blind guides
but accompany others
into God's Kingdom
