Daily Lectio Divina: Have patience

Daily Lectio Divina: Have patience

Repost of Episode 417

In this episode of the guided lectio divina podcast, we’re continuing our series on Wisdom from Rilke using selections from Letters to a Young Poet by the Austrian writer Rainer Maria Rilke.  This week’s theme is Waiting in the Struggle, and today’s reading comes from The Third Letter.

[H]ave patience with everything that remains unsolved in your heart.  Try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books written in a foreign language.  Do not now look for the answers….  At present you need to live the question.

In this episode of the guided lectio divina podcast, we’re continuing our series on Wisdom from Rilke using selections from Letters to a Young Poet by the Austrian writer Rainer Maria Rilke.  This week’s theme is Waiting in the Struggle, and today’s reading comes from “The Third Letter.”

All things consist of carrying to term and then giving birth.  To allow the completion of every impression, every germ of a feeling deep within, in darkness, beyond words, in the realm of instinct unattainable by logic, to await humbly and patiently the hour of the descent of a new clarity: that alone is to live one’s art, in the realm of understanding as in that of creativity.

In this episode of the guided lectio divina podcast, we’re continuing our series on Wisdom from Rilke using selections from Letters to a Young Poet by the Austrian writer Rainer Maria Rilke.  This week’s theme is Solitude, and today’s reading comes from “The Tenth Letter.”

I can only wish that you trustingly and patiently allow that grand solitude to work in you.  It is no longer possible to be erased from your life.  It shall be immanent in all that you experience and all that you do.  It will act as an anonymous influence….  It is gently decisive at each crossroad of our life.
