Begin by settling yourself into a comfortable space.
You may choose to light a candle.
Deepen your breath and ground yourself into these moments of prayer.
Today’s reading is from Matthew 22.36-40.
Steps for listening and reflecting:
Listen to the reading for today.
Listen to the reading again, this time noticing what word or phrase captures your attention.
Listen again and then spend time journaling on the word/phrase that tugged at you. What invitation do you hear? What resistance do you feel?
Listen to the reading and sit in silence for a few moments.
How are you being invited to move back into your daily life with the gifts received from this time of prayer?
