Lectio Divina with Sandra, July 4, 2021.

Lectio Divina on Van Gogh quote: ‘How much good it does a person if one is in a gloomy mood to walk on the empty beach and look into the grey-green sea with the long white lines of the waves. Yet if one has a need for something great, something infinite, something in which one can see God, one needn't look far. I thought I saw something – deeper, more infinite, more eternal than an ocean – in the expression in the eyes of a baby – when it wakes in the morning and crows or laughs because it sees the sun shine into its cradle. If there is a "ray from on high", it might be found there.’

Lectionary reading: John 7.1-13 (NIVUK).
