Hello dear friend,
Thank you so much for stopping by!
In my last post I shared a link with you to the Catholic People, the official newspaper to the Catholic Archdiocese of Cardiff. It is a really good read so here is the link to the August edition. https://rcadc.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Catholic-People-August-2020.pdf
I am blessed to have a monthly column in this publication and below, for inspiration, I am sharing that with you now.
Let Biblical Inspiration Fire Your Imagination!
A 3 minute reading and meditation.
You will need a Bible, a chair, and few minutes alone
“Do not worry about tomorrow: tomorrow will take care of itself.” Matthew 6:34
Do you, like me, feel as if we are in the eye of the Covid-19 storm? As
the numbers of infections in Wales, thankfully, plummet we are eager to take
advantage of the respite and enjoy a little taste of normality. But as this is
the “new normal” - where we must stay alert and keep Covid-safe at all times -
there is not that much peace of mind generally to be had.
As Christians though,
remembering that we are urged to live one day at a time, we are much better
placed to feel secure. When we keep our focus on Jesus we can be sure that we
will always be safe; no matter what happens in our lives! I hope the meditation
below helps you to stay focused on the present.
1. Read Matthew 6:31-34
2. Sit up
straight and close your eyes. Breathe in deeply through the nose. Hold a few
seconds. Breathe out through the mouth and as you do so feel the whole of your
body relax.
3. Now meditate for
a few moments on the fact that Christ does not want you to worry about
anything. He wants, instead, your complete trust.
4. Now say
this prayer – or one of your own – ‘Dear Lord, I want to trust You, always,
but sometimes I find life very scary. Please will you remind me often to stay
as close to You as possible, and to feel the security of Your loving presence.
I ask this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen’
5. When you
are ready breathe in and out deeply as before. Then open your eyes and have a
big stretch.
I hope that with Jesus by your side you enjoy a measure of tranquility
each day, no matter what your circumstances.
God bless
Teresa

My book Pray Then Listen, A heart-to-heart with God is a prayer guide that shows you how to listen for God's voice in order to draw closer to Him. It is for all. You may not know God yet or you may know Him well, in either case the book can be of great help in deepening Faith. Check out Pray Then Listen
