It is a time: –
to be still and aware of the Presence of God within us and around us, in other people, and in the natural world
to give thanks for so many blessings
to reflect on what has given us joy – today / this week
to hold others in the light and in love – especially those who are stressed, depressed, ill, struggling, and dying
to bring our own vulnerability
to help us accept uncertainty
to help us realise that pain is part of our condition and needs to be allowed
to give us an opportunity to open ourselves up – to bring our whole self – all of it
to visualise ourselves in a place of unconditional love, and soak ourselves in its healing power
to receive comfort and strength
to pray for wisdom, patience, kindness, peace, forgiveness and the grace to be forgiving to others and ourselves
to be quiet and see what comes up
to be aware of what is really important in our lives and sensitive to our own needs
