Grace-filled moments

Sometimes incredible moments of the Holy Spirit wash over me at unexpected times.  Tuesday morning was one of those times.  In a small group, doing a mini Bible reflection, three of us opened ourselves to one another, allowing some raw experiences to escape their safe spaces within us.  Then we prayed for one another in turn, holding hands, shutting out the noise around us and truly focusing on this sacred space.  It was one of the most emotional and spiritual moments of my seminary experience.  I was truly touched by the holy.


O Holy One, you place unexpected moments of holy light into our lives.  Keep our eyes, minds, hearts and souls open to these moments, allowing our raw experiences, our raw emotions and our vulnerabilities to break out, knowing that you are in our midst.  Amen.
