A Seal Upon Christ’s Heart

Sunday’s Reflection

MAY CHRIST set you as a seal upon his heart,
as a seal upon his arm;
for his love is strong as death,
his passion as fierce as the grave.
Many waters cannot quench his love,
neither can floods drown it.

~Blessing based on Song of Solomon 8:6-7, written by Sam Hamilton-Poore

Praying with Eyes Open. Many of us were taught to close our eyes when we pray. Praying with icons is an ancient prayer practice that involves keeping our eyes wide open, taking into our heart what the image visually communicates. Try praying with icons.
