Contemplative insight from Mepkin Abbey, drawn from our daily liturgical readings and homily. Help us to pray, one thought per day.
Feeling overwhelmed
Demands beyond resources
Trust God's Providence
God has the patience
Giving opportunities
So we grow in Him
Seed is ever good
Sower's ever generous.
Is our soil ready?
- Sts Joachim & Anne (parents of Mary, grandparents of Jesus)
With a seedbed home
Mary grew into Christ's home
The Son's human home
25 July - St James the Greater
Can you drink the Cup
Aspirations You inspire
Yes, we can, by grace
24 July
Jesus sows the seeds
Selfishness gets in the way
Of seeds of God's love
Kinship with Jesus
Do the will of the Father
Kindness is the key
- St Mary Magdalene
Christ calls her by name,
Apostle to Apostles,
"I have seen the Lord!"
