Trustworthy? – a prayer during Lent Oftentimes it isn’t a question of how much trust you put in the Universe, or the Maker, or whatever noun you use here. More likely it is the case of how much trust that Creator puts in you. I am reflecting on a comment from a friend who said ...]]> http://sacredpauses.com/2012/02/trustworthy-a-prayer-during-lent/feed/ 3 http://sacredpauses.com/2012/02/we-draw-forward-our-strength-a-lectio-divino-meditation/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed http://sacredpauses.com/2012/02/we-draw-forward-our-strength-a-lectio-divino-meditation/#comments Thu, 09 Feb 2012 19:45:15 +0000 Scribe http://sacredpauses.com/?p=1207 We Draw Forward Our Strength – a lectio divino meditation

We Draw Forward Our Strength – a lectio divino meditation     It is God, who, for his own generous purpose, gives you the intention and power to act.   Adapted from Philippians 2:12-16 12 Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue ...]]> http://sacredpauses.com/2012/02/we-draw-forward-our-strength-a-lectio-divino-meditation/feed/ 0 http://sacredpauses.com/2011/10/trusting-our-calling-a-prayer/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed http://sacredpauses.com/2011/10/trusting-our-calling-a-prayer/#comments Sun, 16 Oct 2011 12:05:58 +0000 Scribe http://sacredpauses.com/?p=1027 Trusting Our Calling – a prayer

Trusting Our Calling – a prayer Christ Jesus, You gave your life so that every human being may know that they are loved by God. We entrust to you all those who are undergoing - war - injustice - hunger - or fear of the future.

The Closet I read this snippet of poetry today and my first thought was that it’s a tale of The Closet, of hiding our lives from those we love. And more importantly of hiding it from those who love us. The more I studied on the lines, the more the message spread farther into other ...]]> http://sacredpauses.com/2011/09/the-closet/feed/ 0 http://sacredpauses.com/2011/08/everything-good-a-benediction/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed http://sacredpauses.com/2011/08/everything-good-a-benediction/#comments Wed, 10 Aug 2011 15:39:04 +0000 Scribe http://sacredpauses.com/?p=905 Everything Good – a benediction

Everything Good – a benediction I don’t think I’ve added a benediction here since the Fourfold Franciscan Blessing that got quite a bit of readership and comment as to the origin of the prayer. (I’m not totally convinced who wrote it yet, and that seems immaterial in that I just like it!) A benediction is ...]]> http://sacredpauses.com/2011/08/everything-good-a-benediction/feed/ 1
