The Trailhead podcast today is an invitation to give thanks for the mercy of God best exhibited in the cross of Jesus. You’ll find more about how the cross of Jesus and spiritual formation are both part of the deep salvation work God is doing at this Compass post:
Eucharist-O for Nov. 18, 2024.
The contemplative practice that I playfully call Eucharist-O for Monday, November 18, 2024, has a simple rhythm:
A centering word borrowed from a Matt Redman song, “Once Again.”
A centering word from scripture.
An invitation to enjoy the lyrics of “Once Again.”
A prompt to be still for a few minutes to take in all your soul is processing at a deep level.
