God’s guts

We set up our new canvas labyrinth today at church for the first of a series of Lenten labyrinth walks. The 2nd and 3rd grade Sunday school class walked and then offered their reflections. One boy said, “I felt like I was walking around in God’s intestines!” All in all, this isn’t a bad image for being drawn more deeply into the body of God. The labyrinth is a tool that helps us reconnect with our body and with movement as a form of prayer. It’s only natural that we’ll be reconnected with the body of God in the process.
