"What do you need to hear from Jesus today?"
Pray-As-You-Go, 3/31/20
Way last September, which seems like a lifetime ago, I offered to do a little mini-course on the Christian mystics for Lent for our church. A dear friend and I had done a similar thing years ago and it was interesting. Little did I know, that in researching the mystics for this go around, I would find such comfort in what they said and cling to their words like a life preserver! The mystics were real people, living very real lives on this planet, and yet, they heard the voice of God and lived what they heard. As a result, they changed lives around them and can impact all of us who live after them. I thought I'd share some of the words of God, spoken through the Christian mystics, these next few days. Maybe what they say will give us all hope and comfort as we live the "lenty-est lent" ever!
From Hildegard von Bingen: All human beings and creatures of the cosmos are emanations of the love of God. (Let's remember that as we struggle with our fellow cosmos-dwellers!)
From Julian of Norwich: "All shall be well and all manner of things shall be well."
More tomorrow...Stay home, stay well! Love, heidi
