Listening to my Story
LISTEN |
TREASURE IN THE FIELD OF OUR STORY |
COME TO ME
Come to me all you who are burdened and weary
And I shall give you rest.
Come to me as you are and I shall tend to you.
Listen - Come to me

FOR REFLECTION In the poem we are encouraged to ‘Take time to listen to your story’…. In recent times when have I listened to my story? Do I have regular moments of quiet in my life when I ‘listen with the ear of my heart’ to the relationships in my life, the ‘work’ entrusted to me …. to sense the holy in the daily? Are there decisions I could make that would enable me to live with greater awareness and intention? e.g. 10 minutes of quiet before retiring each night; or 10 minutes of quiet upon rising in the morning… God can only be present and active in the world today if we allow the Spirit to work through us….. |
St Teresa’s prayer captures this simply and powerfully…
|
Christ has no body but yours, |
An invitation to live and share the story…..
