Returning to the Spirit of God

Contemplative Prayer

The Hebrew word for spirit is Ruach, which can also be interpreted as breath. The Spirit of God is as close to us as our breath.

Let us pray together in silence, beginning and ending with the sound of the bell. Quieting our mind can help us open our heart. Each time the mind wanders is another opportunity to return to the presence of God.
