A 16-minute meditation with John 7:37-39, using Lectio Divina and Imaginative Contemplation.

In chapers 7 and 8 of the book of John, politics are whirling and public opinion around Jesus is intensifying. In these choppy political seas – with which we are all familiar in our own way – Jesus speaks these words: “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me, and let the one who believes in me drink. As the scripture has said, “Out of the believer’s heart shall flow rivers of living water.”’ (John 7:37-38 NRSV)

To learn more about the celebratory water drawing festival that Jesus is attending in Jerusalem, and the ritual of the “last, great day” (Jn 7v37) you might find this article interesting.

Blessings 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.
