  • With Jesus in the upper room

    During this Easter season, I welcome you to join in imaginatively with Jesus in the upper room. There, after Jesus had died, the disciples hid in fear. But Jesus — the Risen Christ — appeared to them and gave them the Holy Spirit, breathing on them and sending them out to share his love.

    Join me with this imaginative prayer practice of entering the story from John 20:19–22. The images come from St Jerome’s cave in Bethlehem.

    Feel free to pause the video at any point as you ponder and reflect with God.

  • Prayerful meditation – Receiving God’s love

    God looks on us with love. Join me for a mini-retreat (for 10 minutes) in receiving God’s loving gaze, along with imagining yourself in the story of Jesus seeing the widow of Nain during the funeral procession of her only son from Luke’s gospel.

  • Prayerful meditation – the road to Emmaus

    Join me in a prayer of imagining yourself in a gospel story, that of the two disciples walking away from Jerusalem on the road to Emmaus on the day of the resurrection. Their faces are downcast as they don’t understand what has happened, and then Jesus appears to them on the road, but they are kept from knowing it is him.
