Pray

“I don’t know who God is exactly.But I’ll tell you this.I was sitting in the river named Clarion, on a water splashed stoneand all afternoon I listened to the voices of the river talking.Whenever the water struck a stone it had something to say,and the water itself, and even the mosses trailing under the water.And slowly, very slowly, it became clear to me what they were saying.Said the river I am part of holiness.And I too, said the stone. And I too, whispered the moss beneath the water.” (Excerpt, At the River Clarion by Mary Oliver)

Meditate

When I am feeling an overflow of any emotion, especially in anxious or overwhelming times – I need to immerse myself in nature. Use this Wild Contemplation prompt as you spend time outside, anywhere of your choosing, to connect with the Divine and the more-than-human elements.

Listen

Faith’s Hymn by Beautiful Chorus

This is a wonderful track to listen to as you pray and meditate, as it has no words, just melodic humming.
