Bread of Life: Lectio Divina
Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed
A meditation with John 6:30-35, 38-39, using breath work and Lectio Divina. I am the bread of life.
This passage is so beautiful.
I know that bread has taken many different forms in different times and places, but I can’t help but see a loaf of sourdough rising in the oven – expanding, filling, bubbling, opening.
There is so much language in these verses around giving life. Manna. Nourishment. Food. Satiation of hunger and thirst. Being raised up.
They said to him “Sir, give us this bread always” I imagine it sounding like “Rabbi – we always want this bread.”
Don’t we though? Life. To the full. Yes, please.
Blessings as you pray, loves. All blessings.
Contemplative at Home offers guided meditative prayer – space to slow down and listen to the truth that is being born out of God’s love for you today – drawing on Ignatian spirituality and at times, Lectio Divina.
