In this podcast we look at entering into Holy Week and our motivations for doing so in the light of Julian of Norwich's prayers that led her into her deep experience of God.
In conclusion, these points to ponder and pray (based on Julian's prayers) are offered:
- Sit with your longing for God. Find ways to describe this ‘wound’ – it may be words, there may be images, there may be music that help you sense it and hold it tenderly in your heart.
- Thinking of Jesus’ journey in Holy Week, the injustice, abuse, suffering and death that he endured – notice the way in which you wish to be com-passionate – to be alongside him in his compassion.
- Bring what emerges into prayerful conversation with God, with Jesus. Expressing what has emerged and asking for God’s grace to give you, or meet you in your desires for Holy Week
