Reflections from the labyrinth

As a follow up to the pilgrimage, we set up a labyrinth at St Mary's.  This was an opportunity for anyone to have their own walk with God. 

 

Everyone coming to walk the labyrinth at St Mary’s seemed to get a different meaning from their walk with God.  Here are some of the reflections left in the book:

·         I was very aware of the light and shade as I walked

·         In the labyrinth everything meant something.  God really can speak through anything if I give him the space

·         My (surprisingly long) journey in the labyrinth allowed me to reflect on my journey through life: many twists and turns, some about turns.

·         The stones of the labyrinth remind me of all the different people God has brought into my life: they are all unique, each a different size, shape, colour, character, gifts and yet all are children of God

·         As I walked, the labyrinth took me to the outer edge and I thought of those who are on the edge of society and feel neglected or are lost. I prayed that I would have God’s eyes to seek and save the lost

·         The labyrinth showed me that what I see as a burden, God has given me as a gift – to use and embrace it

·         The path may be constantly changing but God always fills it with beauty, with joy, with his constant and unchanging love
