Lection from prayer and a dream

Tuesday October 19th


Lectio from (2 Cor. 1:3-5)

1. Comfort those who are in trouble.

2. (with) what we have received from Him

3. Consolation


A dream last night:

I was in what appeared to be a restaurant. I felt the urge or desire to pray for healing for a wman on the other side of the dining area. I don’t think I ever actually saw her but I had a strong sense that she was in a wheel chair.

As I walked toward her I started to feel doubt and hesitation. At the same time I felt something in my body urging me to continue. These words came to me. “All healing comes from Mary.”

I got the sense that I needed to pray with Mary and for Mary’s intercession at least for this particular woman. I didn’t trust my own discernment but as I walked past a table there was book. On the cover it said “Mary.” At least that word jumped out at me. It was as though that one word was highlighted for a moment on the page. I got more courage from this and continued on my way to the woman, but was still apprehensive. It may have been less about doubt in what I should do but fear about the reaction of the woman and others when I told them I wanted to pray for her healing. But the “feeling” in my body was getting much stronger. It was something like the prompting I might receive at prayer meeting when I know I should share a prophesy.
