Meditation: We are one

You are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.
Ephesians 2, 19-22

We are many different packages but, if we can see it,
all, one at heart.

Many drops of rain but, if we can open our eyes,
one river flowing to one sea.

Many perfect unique snowflakes but, if we look,
one glacier collecting the weight of each and grinding to the ocean.

Many perfect people in lives of solitary pain but open your eyes,
throw aside your dark dream of individuality, 

see our one spirit, already redeemed.

Individual grains, ground together, quickened and baked, now we are
one bread, one body, one sacrament of grace and life.

Suggestions for meditation

Always begin by offering your time to God: something like "My loving God, I love you with my whole heart and above all things. I give you this time when I am reaching out to you" and then a few moments reminding yourself of some of the blessings God has given you - the clear signs of God's love for you. The exact words of the prayer are not important but you do need a firm intention to open yourself to God's input.

Read the mediation over slowly a couple of times.

Listen for Jesus' personal message for you.

If you would prefer a more authoritative reading to focus your meditation try Paul speaking to the Ephesians 2, 19-22

You are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.

OR listen (and maybe sing) One Bread, One Body: https://youtu.be/R6xIdDYiA9A 

Focus on one of these passages or the meditation slowly a couple of times.

What word of phrase jumps out to speak to you?

Why? Try to put yourself into those words. Maybe imagine Jesus speaking, and reply.

Then spend 5, or 10, or 20 minutes with those words, or the word ONE or the word GOD. 
You need a clear intention to empty your mind of random thoughts (you won't be entirely successful but you need the intention). 
You might want to begin the meditation using the breathing exercise I suggest in We have two minds. 
After a minute or two focused on your breathing, move your focus to the word/s you have chosen. 

Each time your attention moves away from the word/s, push the distraction gently aside and return to the word ("without the intervention of analytical thought" as The Cloud of Unknowing puts it).

You may need a countdown clock.

At the end thank God, and return to your day.
