Divine Beauty This contemplation is one that enables the heart to know God as ultimate beauty using Scripture.
It's based on a tradition used by Benedictine monks called Lectio Divina,
A divine reading of Scripture.
There are four phases and you'll be led through.
So close your eyes if you want and take a couple of deeper breaths.
And firstly just hear or read these words.
As we contemplate the Lord's beauty so we are changed into the same beauty.
This time reflect on the words.
As we contemplate the Lord's beauty so we are changed into the same beauty.
God's glory and his beauty are the same.
He offers to give this to us.
This time you can respond to these words.
As we contemplate the Lord's beauty so we are changed into the same beauty.
As we contemplate the Lord's beauty so we are changed into the same beauty.
You are invited to enjoy God's beauty,
To gaze upon it.
And in turn he will bestow a beauty upon your own life.
Finally,
Receive the promise that you will be able to see God's beauty and receive the promise that you will be able to hear.
Finally,
Receive the promise held in these words.
As we contemplate the Lord's beauty so we are changed into the same beauty.
To be given to you.
Receive it right now.
And when you are ready,
You can end the contemplation.
God's glory and his beauty are the same.
As we contemplate the Lord's beauty so we are changed into the same beauty.
As we contemplate the Lord's beauty so we are changed into the same beauty.
