Gaze on him . . .
Consider him . . .
Contemplate him . . .
As you desire to imitate him.

In Gazing on the Gospels, this advice from St Clare of Assisi provides the key to unlocking the door to the heart of Jesus’ teaching. Her words provide a pattern of meditation that brings alive the Gospel reading for every Sunday in Year B of the Revised Common Lectionary.

These short reflections will engage your imagination, mind and heart. Each one concludes with a brief prayer that focuses on helping you to imitate Christ in your everyday life.

These meditations provide a lively, different and accessible way to immerse yourself in the Gospel throughout the year.
