Lent Meditation Day 29
Sorry for my long absence from posting. I got incredibly busy with my academy weekend and work responsibilities and time slipped away.
A Note from Ruth
These meditations are a reflection of my personal journey through Lent at a time when I was experiencing deep spiritual growth and learning what it means to grow in community as a student at the Academy for Formation and Mission. In part, I wrote them to process my own thoughts, but mainly to share those contemplations, because I felt they were meant to be experienced by others. My hope was to encourage others to go deep, to see God and Lent with a new perspective, and to self-reflect in a way that brings hope.
It’s interesting that in the season of Lent, a time when I feel called to simplicity and rest, I get slammed with a heavy schedule.
Tonight at Canterbury House we talked about prayer and the different forms it can take. What I’m learning is that I have to pay attention to catch the spontaneous moments of prayer, when it seems that God is praying for me, or that we are praying together, those moments that sweep me off my feet spiritually.
Tomorrow I will write again about the Gospel accounts of Jesus during his last days on earth. Tonight I will rest in the afterglow of what the students shared about their prayer experiences, their God moments. If campus ministry has taught me anything, it is that I am often the student, and they are my teachers.
