Beloved Friends,
Today we gently lengthen our silence to 31 minutes.
If our Lenten Practice were a football game, we would have just entered the fourth quarter!! I commend you for continuing this sacred journey in whatever rhythm of prayer has brought you to this moment. Know that God delights in any time that you have been able to focus your attention on God's presence in the silence. These longer stretches of silence are both more challenging and more deeply meaningful. I am holding you in prayer as we come down the homestretch!
I invite you to explore the practice of Audio Divina (sacred listening) as the focus for your silent prayer today.
Audio Divina is an invitation to shift your focus from seeking God's Presence in what you are seeing to what you are hearing. As you listen, may you have ears to hear any whispers from the still small voice of God. Feel free to journal some of your reflections as you listen if you feel so moved. However, remember to keep it simple. Don't overthink - this is a spiritual practice of the heart, not the head. Simply be still and know that God is with you. Understanding comes slowly (if at all!). Be patient and trust in the slow work of God.
Here is today's Audio Divina suggestion for your 31 minutes of silence...
