Hello friends and welcome to Psalm 114 offered as Alexio Divina.
You are welcome here and I invite you to get comfortable.
To settle into your body,
Into your breath.
To take some sighs,
Some deeper breaths.
And gather into this moment.
This moment where love is waiting for you.
Were the presence of the divine.
Is here to meet with you.
Let yourself soften and sink.
Noticing how you arrive into this moment.
And offering yourself a loving,
Compassionate welcome.
I'm going to read the psalm three times and on this first reading Let the words fall without attaching to any in particular.
Psalm 114 Come,
All you who have wandered far from the path.
Who have separated yourselves from love.
A banquet is prepared for you in the heart's secret room.
There you will find the way home.
A welcome ever awaits you.
Even as you acknowledge the times you have erred.
The forgiveness of the beloved will envelop you.
Call upon the beloved when fear arises,
When you feel overwhelmed.
The eternal listener will heed your cry.
You will find strength to face the shadows.
Befriend all that is within you.
Discover the sacred altar within your heart.
Then will abundant blessings enter your home and you will welcome the divine guest who is ever with you.
You are never alone.
On this second reading notice any words or phrases that are capturing your attention.
