Contemplative at Home returns to Lectio Divina with a slightly different format!
In this 17-minute meditation you will find
- Four minutes of stilling
- Reading of Luke 10:29-37
- One minute of silence (opening and closing with a bell)
- Second reading of Luke 10:29-37
- Four minutes of silence (opening and closing with a bell)
- Closing benediction
In the silence, you are invited to release yourself into God's presence. You may want to use a word, as in Centering Prayer, or you may want to allow the word or phrase which caught your attention in the reading to inform your being with God. You may also wish to dialogue with the Lord about what is present in your mind and body.
A note on the text: The Priest and Levite in the story both represent a class of people who were born into positions of wealth and religious authority. The families of Priests, in the lineage of Aaron, have the sole right to the priesthood and high priesthood, whilst the Levites manage and control the temple, amongst other things. The Samaritans on the other hand descend from both Hebrew and non-Hebrew people, have a slightly different perspective on religion to the mainline Jewish way, and are regarded as inferior by the Jews who worship at Jerusalem.
This is a guided audio meditation with Luke 10:29-37, the parable of the Good Samaritan.
Contemplative at Home offers guided meditative prayer - space to slow down and listen to the truth that is being born out of God's love for you today - drawing on Ignatian spirituality and at times, Lectio Divina.
