Mepkin Abbey Monastery App

Contemplative insight from Mepkin Abbey, drawn from our daily liturgical readings and homily. Help us to pray, one thought per day.

There's a great diff'rence
Knowing and recognizing
Who Jesus Christ is.

Likewise, a diff'rence
Mere talking about Jesus
Talking to Jesus.

We need to do both
To be an evangelized
Evangelizer

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

Friendship with Jesus

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

Can you drink the Cup
Aspirations You inspire
Yes, we can, by grace
