Group Lectio- Luke 21:5-9
1st reading : Reflect- Listen for the overall sense of the passage. What most captures your attention as you listen? Share a word or phrase that seems to “light up” or makes the passage come alive for you. Reflect what message or question from God you are hearing that the passages are building for you
2nd reading : Respond- Listen and respond: What are you moved to say to to God in response to the message or question you are hearing? Share a specific prayer of intention, thanksgiving, or concern that rises within you.
3rd reading: Rest in God: Listen in silence, quieting the self to make room for God’s presence and action within your heart, mind, and body.
5 When some were speaking about the temple, how it was adorned with beautiful stones and gifts dedicated to God, he said, 6 "As for these things that you see, the days will come when not one stone will be left upon another; all will be thrown down." 7 They asked him, "Teacher, when will this be, and what will be the sign that this is about to take place?" 8 And he said, "Beware that you are not led astray; for many will come in my name and say, 'I am he!' and, 'The time is near!' Do not go after them. 9 "When you hear of wars and insurrections, do not be terrified; for these things must take place first, but the end will not follow immediately."
Closing Prayer
O God, in Christ you give us hope
for a new heaven and a new earth.Grant us wisdom to interpret the signs of our times, courage to stand in the time of trial,and faith to witness to your truth and love. Amen.
