The Trailhead podcast today is an invitation to give thanks for the mercy of God best exhibited in the cross of Jesus. Head over to my Substack page, Compass, to read more about the role the mercy of God plays in the renovation of our hearts:
The Eucharist-O for Tuesday, November 19, 2024
First: A Centering Word
* What to do: read Pope Francis’ words three or four times. Pause and breath between each reading. Pay attention to what draws your attention. What are you seeing? What are you believing? What are you doubting?
Next: A Centering Word from Scripture
* What to do: Read the scripture words three or four times. Pay attention to what is stirring inside of you. What are you seeing? What are you believing? What are you doubting? What are you feeling? What questions are being raised?
Next: Be Still
* What to do: Before returning to your full day, sit in stillness for a few moments. Your soul and imagination were possibly drawn to a word, a memory, a feeling, or a word picture in the words you read. Wherever you were drawn, be there for a few moments. Pay attention to the stirrings deep within, the questions that are forming, or the words that want to be spoken. Give your soul the gift of a few moments of stillness to let memories, questions, words, and prayers form.
* Before returning to your day, let what is stirring inside become a conversation with God. The conversation, whatever its mood, is a form of prayer and communication with God who has been waiting for this moment all day.
Finally, take your thankfulness with you into your world today.
