The Truth Will Make You Free – Lectio Divina – John 8
Listen now
Description
A 16-minute guided audio meditation with John 8:31-36, using breath work and Lectio Divina. “We have never been slaves to anyone. What do you mean by saying ‘You will be made free’?” John 8:33 Jesus invites his followers into an interior freedom. We could devote our entire lives to the exploration of this invitation. You might find it useful to reflect on these questions: * Where and when do I feel lack of freedom around my choices or my reactions? * When and how do I feel an inability to give and receive love? * In what ways do I feel stuck? * Am I free to express my needs and opinions with confidence and grace? * Where do I feel most alive? Where do I feel least alive? Every blessing as you reflect and pray. You are more loved than you can ever imagine. May this be the truth that sets you free. 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.
