"Now lay back in the chair,
resting your feet in the chair in front of you,
begin with a few deep breaths,
breathing in relaxation
breathing out tensions
becoming more
and more
relaxed."
Sister Jean was guiding us
in a new way
to pray.
I had come for comfort
and consolation -
I was grieving and needed
a mother a heavenly
Mother
who would hold me in her arms.
She continued,
"No begin to feel yourself resting
in the arms of God.
Let go relax
deeper and deeper you drift
into re-lax-a-tion.
Feel yourself supported
in the arms
of a loving compassionate
God...
Held close,
softly.
A God that listens
and understands
and cares.
Look into her eyes" -
Did she say 'her' eyes?
I asked myself...
that was what I was hearing.
"Tell her what you are feeling."
Take all the time you need
now, to be with your God,
in her arms,
comforted
in a state of complete
relaxation."
