Contemplative insight from Mepkin Abbey, drawn from our daily liturgical readings and homily. Help us to pray, one thought per day.
Treasured, handed on
Ways of God’s love and mercy
Christ fulfilled, not failed
Mercy, Lord, mercy
Yes, seventy-seven times
forgiven, forgive
Himself unwelcomed
Christ welcomes all ceaselessly
come, be healed, be free
Spring cleaning is on
How about my heart and soul
The Spirit’s temple?
Prodigal Father,
with wayward, resentful sons,
welcomes and calls home...
with rejections, hurts
do Spiritual composting
so be life-giving
Share in the Lord’s cup
Serve, not served, even suffer
Live life to the full
Be Christ in the world
Be good and help those in need
In humility
In the same manner
Forgiven by the Father,
Give others mercy
Reconciliation:
in lieu of acted-out-rage,
acted-out-goodness!
