Live One Day at a Time!






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
