Prayer Practice | Dream of the Rood | Drew Masterson
Show Notes

As we enter Holy Week, we wanted to share a “Space for God” reflection offered by Drew Masterson last Lent.  Drew starts with a helpful introduction to an ancient English poem called “Dream of the Rood,” setting it in its historical and literary context, and helping us understand some of the ways it might still speak to us across the centuries. He then guides us through a contemplative reading of the poem. We hope it helps you journey with Jesus and all the saints before us this week, or anytime!

Prompts for Prayer:

  • Lord, what images or descriptions will you use to draw me to you today?
  • Where would you have me locate myself in this vivid story?
  • What fresh wisdom might these ancient words uncover in our time and place?
  • What are you inviting me to consider more deeply about…
    • Your crucifixion and resurrection?
    • My life with you in the world?
