Pilger Vor Hoechst Dielmann

Pilger Vor Hoechst Dielmann

We hit Matthew and the geneologies! Our story has a history, it has been coming for some time. It has faces, hands and feet.

Opening prayer

Bless to me, O God, The earth beneath my foot, Bless to me, O God, The path whereon I go. Garmina Gadelica

The story continues...

The family tree of Jesus Christ, David's son, Abraham's son: Abraham had Isaac, Isaac had Jacob, Jacob had Judah and his brothers... ...Boaz had Obed (Ruth was the mother), Obed had Jesse, Jesse had David, And David became King. (Matthew 1:1-5)

Silence and Imaginative exercise

Imagine yourself in the story. Who are you? Cycle through your senses. What do you see, touch, taste, hear and smell? (1 minute?)

Question

What can you remember of any of those in this geneology?

Closing Blessing

Be a bright flame before me, Be a guiding star above me, Be a smooth path below me, And be a kindly shepherd behind me, To-day, to-night, and for ever. Garmina Gadelica To print out a pdf copy click here.

Light candle. Read Opening Prayer (together?). Read out the narrative. Sit in silence with imaginative questions. Share. Say Closing blessing.
