Baptism: A Meditation for Beginning

In this 18 minute meditation, you are invited to remember the baptism of Jesus, and to explore where you are at just now, how you stand on the brink of something new and possible, and how you might like to open yourself to the Spirit of God at this juncture. You may want to use this meditation to pray about the next few months, or the next year.

No matter who we are, or where we are headed, we all need to hear the words “you are my precious one. You are beloved.” 

If you aren’t familiar with Jan Richardson’s poem Beloved is Where we Begin, I commend it to you.

The text in this meditation is from Matthew 3:13-17, NIV.

Blessings, always, as you pray. 

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.
