Contemplative insight from Mepkin Abbey, drawn from our daily liturgical readings and homily. Help us to pray, one thought per day.
God enables us
Be best with people, events
Even rejection
Choose the better life
The rich man or Lazarus
It's now or later
19 Mar *St Joseph
Guardian of the Holy Family
Patron of the Universal Church
God fulfills His will
Cooperate for our sake
Just as Joseph did
Silent in his words
Guardian-protector of Him
The Eternal Word
Jesus unburdens
Calling out those who impose
the unnecess'ry
17Mar *St Patrick
Be as the Father
Merciful and forgiving
We give, so receive
Jesus Christ reveals
Our citizenship in heav'n
Transfiguration
Be perfect as God
Loves indiscriminately
Be perfect In love
Stop acted-out-rage
Spread peace-reconciliation
Acted-out-goodness
Only ask, seek, knock
So be given, find, opened
His love never fails
Get up and proclaim
Be like a lamp burning bright
Do not flee, abide
