Allowing Ourselves To Receive: Imaginative Prayer Holy Week

It often feels easier to help others than to help ourselves. In this Ignatian meditation, you are invited to consider your own challenge of receiving from others as you also imaginatively enter the Gospel story of Jesus washing the disciples' feet (John 13: 3-9). What gets in the way of you receiving care?

Starting with a guided breath practice, you will be invited to use your senses as you enter this story and engage in a time of contemplation and personal reflection.

Ignatian Spirituality emphasizes that our imagination is a gift from God, a gift we can use in prayer to encounter God and know ourselves more deeply. Whether listening to this during Holy Week or long after, may you let yourself be washed, be tended to, and receive a love that is deeper and richer and more expansive than we can grasp.
