Reflection

“Create no images of God. Accept the images that God has provided. They are everywhere, in everything…. The universe is God’s self-portrait.” –Octavia Butler

Prayer

God of our senses,

We live in a culture saturated with images. Artificial and synthetic images that shout for attention. As we search for peace above all the chaos, lead us to take more breaks from the screens and to go find peace with you again, in the self-portrait you have loving left us all throughout nature. Revive our senses to encounter your healing presence in everything and everywhere. Most especially in the faces of the those we have been called to serve, those who are poor, dying, and underserved. Amen.

Call to Action

Be deliberate today about turning away from my screens and opening my eyes to nature. Take five minutes to be refreshed.
