Contemplative insight from Mepkin Abbey, drawn from our daily liturgical readings and homily. Help us to pray, one thought per day.
Feast of the Visitation of Mary to Elizabeth:
Mothers meet and greet
Unborn Sons encounter too.
Yes, Jesus brings joy!
Blind Bartimaeus
Calling, "Have pity on me"
The Lord heard, called, healed...
On Your right and left
not for honor but service
always be the first!
Jesus is the Way
He shows us discipleship,
both costs and rewards.
May 27
With riches but sad
Go, let go, and inherit
What leads to real joy!
May 26
Triune is our God
Father, Son, Holy Spirit
We're in Communion!
May25
Child with open hands
Open, receive God's blessings
Key to the Kingdom
Let your Yes mean Yes
Your words and deeds mean the same
So let No mean No
Love is commitment
Perseverance is a grace
In one's vocation
how we treat others
we'll be called to take account
for better or worse
