Lectio Divina: For the Fourth Sunday in Lent

Please read slowly and reflectively.

Slowly count to five at the end of each line.

A READING OF PSALM 137 (FIRST READER ONLY)

PLUNGE INTO THE OCEAN OF LOVE,/

WHERE HEART MEETS HEART,/

WHERE SORROWS ARE COMFORTED/

AND WOUNDS ARE MENDED./

THERE, MELODIES OF SADNESS MINGLE WITH SONGS OF JOY./

PAST FEARS DISSOLVE./

ETERNAL MOMENTS, LIVED IN TOTAL SURRENDER,/

GLIDE SMOOTHLY OVER TROUBLES WATERS./

AWAKEN, O MY HEART, THAT I DROWN NOT IN FEAR./

TOO LONG HAVE I SAILED WHERE THE WINDS HAVE BLOWN./

DROP ANCHOR!/

HEART OF ALL HEARTS/

GUIDE ME TO THE PROMISED SHORE./
