Wednesday of 2nd Week of Advent - A Time of Lectio Divina for the Discerning Heart

Wednesday of 2nd Week of Advent - A Time of Lectio Divina for the Discerning Heart As you begin, take a deep breath and exhale slowly.  For at least the next few moments, surrender all the cares and concerns of this day to the Lord. Say slowly from your heart “Jesus, I Trust In You…You Take Over” Become aware that He is with you, looking upon you with love, wanting to be heard deep within in your heart... ___ From the Holy Gospel of St. Matthew 11:28-30 Jesus said, ‘Come to me, all you who labour and are overburdened, and I will give you rest. Shoulder my yoke and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. Yes, my yoke is easy and my burden light.’ ___ What word made this passage come alive for you? What did you sense the Lord saying to you?
