Stand Up… Raise Your Head…

“…stand up and raise your heads…”

When your shoulders are stooped 

When you are weary and carrying great burdens

When your soul is overwhelmed

When you feel terribly alone

Stand up… 

Jesus offers his hand

Stand up…

Spirit offers her embrace

Stand up…Raise your head…

Behold, I am with you… even to the close of the age…

Stand up…

I am with you…

Stand up…

Lectio Divina exercise based on Luke 21:25-28 from the Abbey of the Arts retreat based on Christine Valters Paintner’s book, Sacred Time: Embracing an Intentional Way of Life.
