Contemplative insight from Mepkin Abbey, drawn from our daily liturgical readings and homily. Help us to pray, one thought per day.
Mercy so Divine,
Christ offers us salvation!
We trust and adore.
To Mary Magd'lene
To Disciples, Apostles,
Now to me, Proclaim!
Cast your net again!
Obey, be surprised, enriched...
Come, let's have breakfast!
Peace be with you, peace!
through locked doors, through fears, remorse
Peace be with you, peace!
both see yet can't see...
but with faith- eyes of the heart,
both can't see yet see!
Deep in tears, then called,
Turn and recognize the Lord
Turn, be free, and tell
"To my Brothers:
Go, tell that they will see Me!"
You with fear and joy.
Christ has arisen!
Gate of Heaven flung open!
Death has been conquered!
Mary's silent YES
Yes from CRADLE to the CROSS
Yes unto the TOMB
boundless compassion
undeterred crucifixion
wrought us salvation
ex-cru(x)ciating
most remembered death of all
Christ's salvific love
