Day 26: Salach, Forgiving

The Well Church in The City of New York

Day 26: Salach, Forgiving

April 6, 2022 • Rev. Aaron Bjerke • Psalm 86:5–7

Forgiveness is an important spiritual practice. It grows us in compassion for ourselves and others.

However, to forgive someone that has hurt us without an apology is nearly impossible to do. And yet, forgiveness teaches us to look outside of ourselves which frees our minds from repeating hurtful narratives.

Today in our meditation, we turn our attention toward God's narrative of forgiveness. What is it to sit with and experience a type of forgiveness that is always extended towards us for us to receive? How does that shape and change us?

Silence, Be Still and Know

April 15, 2022 • Rev. Aaron Bjerke • Psalm 46:10

As our Lenten Journey comes to an end on Good Friday, we bring our awareness of connecting with God through silence. Have you ever experienced God at the very ground of your being? Today we invite you to answer God's invitation to: "Be still and know..."

Day 32: Humble

April 14, 2022 • Rev. Aaron Bjerke • John 13:14–17

A Trappist monk once said: Pride makes us artificial and humility makes us real. There is nothing that is more disarming than being in the presence of someone who is humble. Jesus approaches us with divine humility in exchange for our pride. We invite you today to open your heart to being filled with the gift of Jesus' humility.

Day 31: Light of the World

April 13, 2022 • Rev. Aaron Bjerke • John 8:12

Ancient scripture in the book of John shares: "In Jesus was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." Today in our meditation, we invite you to open your spiritual imagination to ponder and visualize Jesus' divine light.
