Integrating My Pilgrimage to Swedish Labyrinths On Gotland Island-9

Pilgrimage involves an outer and inner voyage with God. My experiences, as represented by the images below, kept calling me to welcome the Holy Spirit’s enlivening presence.

My Prayer

God, May the seeds planted during the pilgrimage, grow and blossom in beautiful ways.

Scriptural Touchstone: 

I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart; I will tell of all your wonderful deeds. Psalm 9: 1 (NRSV)

The parish church in Bal, one of the many churches I was able to pray in

Invitation to Pray:

As you consider how God is meeting you in this day, what prayers are emerging in your body, mind, heart, and imagination? Pray them now.
