ARC: Poetry Friday
Posted on July 8, 2011 by Contemplative Christianity
By Monique Amado I am unholy and lowly, defiled. To even dwell on myself long enough to admit this bares the marks of bloated pride. Yet I would prefer to go there– where I’d rather not go and risk being scorned, exposed, naked, misunderstood than to stand, gloating, as if there is not [...]

Daily Prayer Reflection for Friday, July 8, 2011
Posted on July 8, 2011 by Contemplative Christianity
Almighty God of Life and Love: You know us. We matter to you. You wish to make us beautiful on the inside, simple reflections of your self-giving-love. We consent in silence to this interior renovation. Give us courage to observe our un-loving words, gestures and desires so to become increasingly passive to the personality in [...]

Daily Prayer for Tuesday, May 31, 2011
Posted on May 31, 2011 by Contemplative Christianity

We will be open to [...]

A Prayer for All Who Have Been Wounded or Killed by Violence
Posted on May 30, 2011 by Contemplative Christianity
O God who holds the whisper and moan of our flesh and blood: There is no comfort in the tales of old, pressed deep in our memory with the pain of martyrs, warriors and victims in hymn, history and epic poem; There is only the haunted grace that makes things new again, despite the human savagery [...]

A Mid-Week Contemplative Poem
Posted on May 18, 2011 by Contemplative Christianity
STEEP HILL By Monique Amado The hill is steep; in fact, it seems all uphill with no bench to sit down. Cobblestones are pretty, but they cause me to stumble. I need a lantern, a street lamp to see by, to illuminate the way, to flood hope down over these rocks (even when the sun [...]

Is There More to Life?
Posted on May 2, 2011 by Contemplative Christianity
By Thom Temperli Count me as an idealist. I actually tend to believe that there is a better way to do most things, that things can be balanced and optimized, even if they can’t be perfected. (The perfection idea was hard to let go of, though.) This idealism tends to spill over into all aspects [...]

Posted on April 15, 2011 by Contemplative Christianity
Whatever path of loneliness or lack you may be traveling today, miracles of love and supply will arrive: the heart is beating; the lungs are breathing; the mind is lit with conscious light. Beyond our thoughts of lack and longings is an Ulitmate Reality: God’s love has always met and will always meet all our needs. The [...]
