Lectio Divina
He asked them, “What are you discussing together as you walk along?”
Luke 24
I don’t want to talk about you
like you’re not in the room.
Misty Edwards
Prayer
Like an alarm
going off
at some
scheduled
future
my autopilot self
assumes
you will grow loud
when I need you
when you need me.
No wonder
I wonder
underneath
the noise of
daily life
where you are.
Today
I hear the
quiet invitation.
Revelation
is not a mountaintop.
It is stillness
in the valley
of ordinary life.
You do not wait at a finish line.
You are all along this winding road.
Like Cleopas
talking about Jesus to Jesus
on the way to Emmaus,
my Sunday morning rituals
miss the point.
Oh to be at the table with you long enough
for my eyes to be opened as his.
Come Holy Spirit.
Blessing
Dear Friend
May the eyes of our hearts be opened.
May we know the joy of Brother Lawrence.
May we live in the presence of God.
In the Name of the One Who Knocks
Amen
