Let Nothing Disturb You

Let Nothing Disturb You...

This is a prayer written by St. Teresa of Avila, a Carmelite nun, and prominent Spanish mystic and reformer of the 16th century.  While her words were plain, they are far from simple. The rich invitation to surrender our fears and trust in God's timing and presence is nothing but medicinal for the soul.

Spend a few moments engaging in audio divina, the art of sacred listening, with the video below.  

Thank you Simon De Voil for this beautiful sung version.  And thank you to our spiritual direction student who brought it into class this week.

Spiritual Direction Questions for Journaling:

1. What desire does the music draw forth from you?

2.  Where do you feel in in your body?  If it were a physical pose, what would it look like?

3. If nothing is wasted, how can you position yourself in patience until more is revealed?
