This week’s Lenten Offering is written by Inés Velásquez-McBryde, a Nicaraguan pastora and co-lead pastor of our church familia.
This week we invite you to engage with God through Visio Divina. In Visio Divina, we use our senses to engage what God might be speaking to us through an image. Take 5-10 minutes to reflect on the following prompts.
- Center yourself
Take a few moments to breathe and become aware of God’s presence. - Divine Imagination
Contemplate the 3 images of Mother Mary from Mary’s Garden. Do so slowly. With intention. Notice the light. The shadows. The colors.
- What stands out to you about María’s body, face, gestures?
- What emotions do you notice in the images?
- What feelings does it evoke in your body?
- Is there a word that God is inviting you to live into through this image?
- Communal Reflection
If you are open to share some of your thoughts with us, comment below on your observations so that we can use our collective divine imagination.
