Contemplative insight from Mepkin Abbey, drawn from our daily liturgical readings and homily. Help us to pray, one thought per day.
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!
Get up, go, proclaim:
Be humble, contrite, turn back
Surrender, be free!
Be holy as I
do to others as to Me
be Me as I you
Healing love of Christ,
reaching out, gathering in,
the glory of God
Fasting, like breathing
inhale-exhale, give up - take up
just like and with Christ.
Transform our vision, Lord, open our hearts to the newness of faith.
