Which Type of Spirit are You?
O God, in the
course of this busy life, give us times of
refreshment and peace; and grant that we may so use our
leisure to rebuild our bodies and renew our minds, that our
spirits may be opened to the goodness of your creation;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

We cannot feed our souls until we know ABOUT our souls. Or, if you want to use the word "spirit," then what kind of spirit is yours? Are you passive or active, reclining or engaging? Some feed the soul or the spirit by meditating. Others by physical exercise. In either case, the feeding is intentional. Prayer, the repeating of a phrase called "a mantra," is critical. Some use a simple line from the psalms, "Watch over my going out and my coming in," or "the Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want"--maybe "Lord have mercy, Christ have mercy, Lord have mercy." The important point is this: connect the outer activity with the inner--that's feeding!
