A meditation with John 3:22-30, using Lectio Divina.

After the passover, Jesus and his disciples go out into the Judean countryside, and spend some time together. (I’m not sure why but this little phrase puts me in mind of the time when we had no mobile phones – were we able to pass extended periods of time together in a mellower, richer way?)

Jesus is baptising, and John is baptising too, because “the water was abundant”. A discussion breaks out about this – why are they both baptising? John then reiterates his role in Jesus’ entry on the scene.

Next month, there will be an interlude in the meditations on John’s gospel. Keep your eye out for shorter reflections each Monday through August.

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.
