A 22-minute audio guided meditation in John’s Gospel, John 12:27-28, 34-36, and 42-43, using Lectio Divina.

Glory.

Light.

An access to eternity that doesn’t look like the power and longevity we might have imagined.

I think that Jesus is inviting us to listen very deeply here. I remember my high school French teacher setting out to teach us a tense that doesn’t exist in English. “I need you to open your minds and put aside your current understanding of language,” she began.

Jesus asks us to open our minds and put aside our understanding of glory.

This glory is not about power, control or success.

When have you tasted the glory of the Lord? What did it feel like in your heart? What did it feel like in your bones?

To me it is a kind of deep down resonance with goodness and mercy and love. A wholeness and fullness that comes from the bottom up, not something that can be applied to the surface of things like a sticking plaster. It has to do with true healing and generous justice. A hopeful, grace-filled reverberation.

How would you describe it?

Blessings as you pray.

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.
