Contemplative insight from Mepkin Abbey, drawn from our daily liturgical readings and homily. Help us to pray, one thought per day.
Pray, fast, and do good,
Deepen God's life within us,
Hidden fruitfulness.
Lo! Imperfections!
Perceive and perceived as such.
Be as God is, Love!
Evil for evil,
rather, do good for evil
sustain: good for good
16 June
Seeds into seedlings
blossoms into fruits, with seeds
seeds of hope flourish
Swear not nor give oath
Let 'Yes' mean yes, 'No' mean no
Speak, live by the Truth!
Feel, encounter God
life's wind, fire, earthquakes, whispers...
in contemplation.
13June
don't be judgmental,
amid the world's imperfections,
be patient and pray!
False prophets, false gods
Love is our Christian journey
Christ fulfills the Law
Be true disciples:
enhance God's love in the world,
be light, salt of earth!
Our command is love
Created in God's image
Who is love Himself
