Healing Presence
Embracing Divine Solidarity
Introduction:
In this meditation, we'll explore the transformative power of healing as exemplified in the Gospel of Mark. We'll reflect on Jesus' ministry of action, his solidarity with human suffering, and the immediate, tangible changes his presence brought to people's lives. As we meditate, we'll open ourselves to the healing presence that surrounds us in every moment.

Find a comfortable position and close your eyes.
Take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, feel your body relaxing into the support beneath you.
With each breath, allow tension to melt away from your muscles.

This light represents the healing presence of the divine.
As you breathe in, draw this light into your body.
As you exhale, let it spread through every cell.
