Repairing The Breach

Embodied Practice You will need: A candle, a bowl, paper and pen. Light a candle. Take a piece of paper and write some brief words about the ‘breaches’ in the world that are grieving you: they might be things in your personal life, or societal issues. Then take the paper and hold it to the flame as a symbol of God’s all-powerful Love. Let the paper burn in the bowl. Breathe and watch the fire completely burn away the words. Allow yourself to imagine the Love of God present in those situations, and how such Love could heal the breach. Imagine a world where Love triumphs. You may like to say a prayer that God’s Love will be with those you are thinking of; perhaps to prayerfully reflect on how you and your community might bring the Love of God to those situations. 101
