Witness to the Light
A meditation in John’s Gospel, chapter 1, verses 6-9.
In this meditation on John’s Gospel, I invite you, as Jesus does in Mark 6, to "come away with me to a quiet place". I invite you to a quiet place within yourself, a place where your wonder and curiosity are allowed to take the lead. I invite you to behold these words of text, not from your critical, analytic, outward-functioning self, but from your soft, non-judgemental inner heart. I invite you to allow layers of possibility to unfurl from these simple phrases.
In short, I invite you to pray these words.
John 1:6-9 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. He came as a witness to testify to the light, so that all might believe through him. He himself was not the light, but he came to testify to the light. The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world.
May the light
and radiance
of Christ
shine on you
and in you,
through you
and from you.
May the light
of Christ
warm you,
be your companion this day,
and give you peace.
Blessings, always, dear ones.
