Imaginative Contemplation Healing Jairus’ Daughter

I wonder how you have found our Lenten sessions of imaginative contemplation?
If you’re still trying to connect with this way of praying, you might find this article from the British Jesuits helpful. They write: “The most frequent method of prayer that Saint Ignatius uses in his Spiritual Exercises is that of imagining ourselves in a Gospel scene, taking up a character, being with Jesus and being aware of what’s going on, and how we are feeling.”
In this meditation you are invited to imagine that, like Jairus, you hope that Jesus might come and heal something in your life.
As always, and from the bottom of my heart, I hope that you will know tangible and nourishing blessings as you pray.
Much love.
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.

Lissy, I love these imaginative contemplations. For many years in my prayer life I’ve pictured myself with Jesus and so to imagine myself in a particular scene isn’t too difficult for me.
I hope you may be able to keep doing them beyond Easter. 🙂
