Contemplative at Home

40 episodes

2 weeks ago

Inspired by Lectio Divina and the Collatio, this podcast offers the listener sessions of guided, meditative, listening prayer around different passages of scripture.

Each episode will take you in to a deep place of listening in the Lord's presence where you will hear a gospel story read very slowly so that you can savour each word, imagine the scene vividly and perhaps even discern what the Holy Spirit is speaking into your own life through the text.

This prayer experience is ideal if you would like to interact with the Bible in a new way, deepen your prayer life, or understand Gods love for you more fully.

If you find Lectio Divina beneficial in a group but struggle to do it on your own, this podcast will provide the guidance you need.

Each episode will begin with a brief introduction to the text, guide the listener into a deep place of prayer, read the passage very slowly, twice, and then offer some questions for reflection or journaling.

I wish to thank and acknowledge Fr Finbarr Lynch SJ of Manresa House, Dublin who introduced and instructed me in the Collatio, from which all that I share with you in this podcast is derived.

Intimate Encounter: Finding Your Name in God’s Love

A 16-minute guided meditation, linked to Isaiah 42:1-3

This is what the Lord says…. “I have called you by name…”

This meditation is designed to help you pause, connect deeply with the Beloved, to imagine yourself beholding the LORD beholding you, and to hear the LORD calling you by name. It asks you to listen to your deep self, to hear “by what name do I call the LORD?” and “by what name does the LORD call me?”

You are invited into an intimate encounter with the LORD.

Come and see what might be in store for you here.

As with any guided meditation, please ensure that you keep yourself safe. If at anytime during the meditation you feel uncomfortable with where it is taking you, then please gently return to a place where you do feel safe.

Isaiah 43:1-3

But now, this is what the Lord says— he who created you, Jacob, he who formed you, Israel:“Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned (called) you by name; you are mine.2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you.When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.3 For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.

All blessings dear ones!

Contemplative at Home offers guided meditative prayer – space to slow down and listen to the truth that is being born out of God’s love for you today – drawing on Ignatian spirituality and at times, Lectio Divina.
