Lectio Divina: For the 13th Week In Ordinary Time

Please read slowly and reflectively.

Slowly count to five at the end of each line.

A READING FROM PSALM 145 (FIRST READER ONLY.)

MY SOUL YEARNS FOR YOU, ETERNAL FLAME OF LOVE,/

LONGING TO RECONNECT, TO THE GREAT MYSTERY!/

EVERY DAY I WILL BLESS YOU/

AS I FOLLOW THE VOICE OF TRUTH./

THE BELOVED IS GRACIOUS AND MERCIFUL,/

ALLOWING US FREE WILL, WITH ABIDING LOVE./

LIFT UP YOUR HEARTS/

ALL YOU WHO CHOOSE THE PATH OF LIFE!/

DO YOU NOT KNOW THAT YOUR WHOLE BEING/

IS ENCOMPASSED BY MY LOVE?/

CHOOSE LOVE, THAT YOU MIGHT OVERCOME OPPRESSION./

DIVINE LIGHT SHINES IN THOSE WHO LIVE IN LOVE./
