The Inner Liturgy

4 daysBy Dr. R. C. Titus

Begin with the person you bring into a room. These four readings explore embodied life, attentive awareness, room for a faithful response, and the gift of presence. Scripture meets us in tiredness, distraction, strong feeling, and ordinary conversation. Receive God’s care before reaching for another performance, and consider how your next response might make it easier for someone else to be heard and treated with dignity.

Receive care for your embodied life and practice the attention, patience, and presence that prepare you to meet another person.Read slowly. Return whenever you need.
