Contemplative insight from Mepkin Abbey, drawn from our daily liturgical readings and homily. Help us to pray, one thought per day.
To whom shall we go,
Words of everlasting life
Only You, Christ have.
To whom shall we go,
Words of everlasting life
Only You, Christ have.
- St Bartholomew, Apostle
With Bartholomew,
We are invited to be
New Jerusalem
Live to love to live
The greatest command is love
God, others as self
-Queenship of Mary
Once at a banquet
Mary led Christ's miracle
Now, heav'nly banquet
Realize God's love
The last will be first, first last
God's generous love
- St Bernard of Claivaux, Cistercian
"Measure of loving
is to love without measure
Loving God Himself.
- Blessed Guerric of Igny
Regarding riches,
Sell, give, follow Christ.
Gain eternal life.

So we may have life
Take Him, His Body and Blood
Be nourished and live
All God's children come
To whom the Kingdom belongs
In outpouring love
