Opening Prayer: One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I
seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to
gaze on the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple. (Psalm 27:4)
Scripture: 2 Corinthians 3:17-18
Journal: The image that we most often behold is the
image we will ultimately be formed into.
What do you spend most of your day beholding? How is that reflected in who and what
you are becoming? What does it mean to behold
the Lord? How well are you
reflecting him these days?
Reflection:
When the soul is occupied with looking away from
present trials into the face of Christ, and making this a regular and
passionate occupation, this soul will become more tranquil and still, and
therefore more able to reflect the Being it adores. This reflected glory will enable us to love
our neighbor as ourselves. ~Marian Scheele
Truth sees God, and
wisdom beholds God, and from these two comes the third, and that is a marvelous
delight in God, which is love. ~Julian of Norwich
Prayers
Closing Prayer: Hear my voice when I call, Lord; be merciful to me and answer me. My heart says of you, “Seek his face!” Your face, Lord, I will seek. Do not hide your face from me, O God. (Psalm 27:7-9)
