Dear Friends

In what has been a very unpredictable year, as we now face deeply amended holiday celebrations, GRATITUDE remains an essential spiritual practice.

I know that many of you have celebrated an amended Thanksgiving this year, or are struggling with how to amend your Christmas plans, but there are no amendments required in your spiritual practice!

A friend reminded me today that even from the cross, Jesus was affirming God’s love, providing for his dear ones as he gave Mary his mother to John the beloved disciple. We ponder this scene in John 19:25-17 before meditating on our own gifts of grace.

Every blessing as you pray with this gratitude meditation.

And 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.
