Beloved Friends,
As we enter into Holy Week, our time of silent prayer has slowly but surely grown to 35 minutes. What a beautiful thing!
If you would like to share this experience of sacred silence in community, we will be gathering live via Zoom today at 12:15 Eastern Time (please adjust for your time zone). Simply click here or on the link above to join the gathering. If you need this additional information... the Meeting ID it is 870 9072 8073 and the Passcode is 58964. Text me at 216-224-7452 for any additional assistance connecting.
I will offer a few words of reflection, share today's Lectio Divina reading, and then we will enter into sacred silence for 29 minutes together. You may simply sit quietly, journal, sip on some hot cocoa, go for a short saunter or do whatever helps you find your sacred center amidst the silence. During the final minute of our shared silence, I will invite folks to share any prayers or reflections they would like in the chat. After we conclude our 29 minutes of silent prayer, you are free to return to the activities of your day or remain on for a few minutes longer to share in conversation with others who are on this sacred journey as well.
A link to the recording of each prayer session will be included in the next day's email and will also be available on the Lengthening Silence web page.
For today's Lectio Divina, I offer you something a little different for your reflection. I wrote this prayer for Holy Week in the very early days of the pandemic. So much has changed ... and yet so much is the same...
I pray you will find these words to be a meaningful part of your 35 minutes of silent prayer today.
