Come to Stillness: Take a few minutes to allow your mind and heart to
be still before God.
Opening Prayer: Loving Creator, I have no quarrel with the way
you have so carefully designed me in your image. Truly I am your work of art. Take me deeper today. Show me my virtues—the wonders of your design
for my life. Help me not to be afraid to
look into the depths of myself and believe in what I see—for I am the work of
your hands. If I can believe in what I
see, then I can rejoice in what I see.
Precious in your sight, I am your work of art. Continue to create me in
your image. Amen. (Behold Your
Life by Macrina Wiederkehr)
Scripture Reading for the Day: 2 Corinthians 3:12-18
Reading for Reflection:
In reality, however, the
image of Christ is the fulfillment of the deepest hungers of the human heart
for wholeness. The greatest thirst of
our being is for fulfillment in Christ’s image.
The most profound yearning of the human spirit, which we try to fill
with all sorts of inadequate substitutes, is the yearning for our completeness
in the image of Christ. (Invitation to a Journey by M Robert
Mulholland Jr.)
Reflection and Listening: silent and written
Prayer: for the church, for others, for myself
Prayer: for the church, for others, for myself
Closing Prayer: Lord Jesus, continue, this day, to transform
me into your image and likeness. As the
moon reflects the light of the sun, may my face reflect your glory this
day. Amen.
