Every Wednesday we invite you to Pause & Pray with us.

Pray:

Let us set out together on a journey of exploration,
an adventure of discovery.

Let us trust our Self
to find our own unique ways
to walk with God on our journey.

Let us trust our Self
to learn to dance along the path …
our own special dance in rhythm with the Spirit
of God…

Let us trust our Self
to be able to follow the Spirit with confidence…
the Spirit of Life and love…
who longs to lead each of us to abundant life
and love and happiness.

Let us trust God in the depths of our Self…
and believe that our own deep desire for God
is “only a shadow”
of God’s passionate desire for us.

Let us believe that we only need to let go…
and to be open to God
in whatever tiny ways we are able…
and that God will respond with eagerness…
illuminating our path…
and then running exuberantly to meet us
with arms flung wide
to embrace each of us
in divine and fervent love.

Meditate:

Where are you going? On what path are you traveling? Who travels with you?
