From the Sacred Space site … “One way into prayer is through the imagination. Take a Gospel scene and read the text slowly; then read it again. Place yourself in the scene, standing beside Jesus, watching him as the Pharisees lay a trap with their question. If you can, see the place, the people, the coin of tribute. Imagine the tension provoked by their words. Be present with Jesus as he asks for the denarius. Hear his voice as he exposes the hypocrisy of their flattery, but takes their question seriously and gives an answer that has echoed down the centuries: Give therefore to the emperor the things that are the emperor's, and to God the things that are God's. Savor its implications."
What a great concept, a wonderful way to think about prayer. It’s not just me alone, it is me and my God … this is a good way to remember that prayer can form a stronger bond with our God. I will share this with my group at our next meeting.
