“Be tender with your little ones, O God,
Steady our souls as we learn to live.” from common prayer
Where do you need God’s gentle touch?
Be Tender
Fireside
Pondering the dark
Glowing embers in the night
Be still and know God
Sitting by the fire under the night sky, how do I know God?
Afternoon prayer
Shadows lengthening
Dreams, longings, limitations
Slowing toward rest
What prayer rises from your afternoon?
Morning prayer
Joining with God’s work
hands and heart unfolding
I saw it was good
How do we stay heart centered in our work? What work leaves you feeling good in body and spirit?
Vigils
What does it mean to be a person of prayer?
The hours of prayer in the monastic tradition begin with Vigils between midnight and dawn. We awaken to join where God is already at work. We watch, we wait in the dark like a seed in the ground, a child in the womb, an owl on a branch.
How does your prayer begin? How do you look for and join what God is already doing?
