I am the Good Shepherd: John 10:11-15: Lectio Divina No Title

    • Christianity

A 20-minute audio guided meditation in John’s Gospel, John 10:11-15, using Lectio Divina.







In this meditation on John’s Gospel, I invite you to join me in taking a ‘long, loving look’ at a few verses of text, beholding the words as living, shimmering, life-giving containers which hold endless layers of wisdom, mystery, beauty and truth.







Distraction is a normal part of meditation, so don’t be worried if you hardly pay attention to this meditation at all. That is nearly to be expected, depending on how things are for you just now. You might be helpful to write down the thing that is distracting you on a piece of paper, giving your mind the assurance that you’ll pick it up later, and the permission to leave it for the time being.







All blessings as you pray.







Contemplative at Home offers guided meditative prayer – space to slow down and listen to the truth that is being born out of God’s love for you today – drawing on Ignatian spirituality and at times, Lectio Divina.
