Contemplative insight from Mepkin Abbey, drawn from our daily liturgical readings and homily. Help us to pray, one thought per day.
You want to be well?
Now get up, pick up and walk
In renewed spirit.
There’s vision of life:
Turn mourning into dancing,
God’s Kingdom on earth.
Up the saving cross
The Father's love sent the Son
Rejoice, sinful weak!
The love commandment:
Just love to live, live to love
With heart, soul, mind, strength
inexhaustible:
what may have been said and done,
regrets? hope in God!
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...
