Contemplative insight from Mepkin Abbey, drawn from our daily liturgical readings and homily. Help us to pray, one thought per day.
Casting a wide net
All-inclusive way to God
All embraced in love
So it's just like this:
Buried, discovered; sought, found.
Life Jesus offers.
Choices make or break
Eternal consequences
Discern with Jesus
- Martha, Mary and Lazarus
Friendship with Jesus
Welcoming Christ in each one
Love brings, renews life
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
