“Don’t pick on people, jump on their failures, criticise their faults— unless, of course, you want that same treatment. It’s easy to see a smudge on your neighbour’s face and at the same time be oblivious to the ugly sneer on your own. Do you have the nerve to say, ‘Let me wash your face for you,’ when your own face is distorted by contempt? It’s … playing a holier-than-thou part instead of just living your part.” Matthew 7:1-5 The Message

As you spend time praying with this text, be alert for how the Spirit is nudging you, leading you in your thoughts.

Every blessing.

Those of you with a keen ear will hear the garden birds again, enjoying the March sunshine! I hope it’s not overly distracting!

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.
