Romans 8 Spirit of Life

Dear Friends! A meditation on the "new order." In Romans 7 Paul reflects on the law, under which we had to rely on our "flesh" - which I understand as the striving to be good enough, smart enough, pretty enough, strong enough, obedient enough... in other words, exhausting efforts no one can ever achieve in any sustained way. In Romans 8 Paul opens up the new order, in which we don't have to rely on our own ability or inability to achieve anything, but is rather an invitation to step IN to the Spirit of life, which sets us free. In this episode we pray with Romans 8:1-3 and 5-6. Every blessing xxxx Contemplative at Home offers guided meditative prayer - space to slow down and listen to the truth that is being born out of God's love for you today - drawing on Ignatian spirituality and at times, Lectio Divina.
