Contemplation
"Mary has chosen what is better."
— Luke 10:42
God of silence,
In a world of constant action, contemplation seems like a waste of time. Yet simply being, looking, receiving is essential.
Teach me the art of contemplation. To stop, to really look, to let things resonate within me. Not always seeking to do or understand.
May I take time to contemplate the beauty around me, a beloved face, Your mysterious presence. Contemplation nourishes the soul.
Amen.

Reflection

For all those who have forgotten the art of contemplation.
