Imaginative Contemplation – Jesus Teaches in Nazareth

Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed

In this imaginative contemplation, we are with Jesus as he preaches in the synagogue in Nazareth (Luke 4:14-28)

I find these images (and these preview clips) helpful for conjuring the scene in my imagination. I wonder if it would help you to look at them before you go into prayer.

We use the prayer of Brother Lawrence in our opening sequence: “Here we are Lord, all devoted to you. Make us according to your heart.” (Fais-nous selon ton cœur)

This meditation continues our exploration of the question “Who, then, is this?” as we engage with the opening chapters of Luke’s gospel.

For a meditation with Jesus in the wilderness (Luke 4:1-13), see 2020 meditation here or a 2016 meditation here.

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.
