“Resting in God: In a Mother’s Womb”
Psalm 139:13 (NRSV)
For it was you who formed my inward parts;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
Isaiah 49:1 (NRSV)
The Lord called me before I was born,
while I was in my mother’s womb he named me.

Reflecting on this contemporary icon
Icons draw us into their images and symbols and take us closer to God. See what this icon has in store for you…
How does this icon draw you in and what do you experience when looking at it?
How does it feel for you to consider that God knew you when you were in your mother’s womb?
How do you imagine yourself resting in Mother God’s womb?
How has your mother been a special presence in your life?
What challenges has your mother brought to your life?
How are you a mother/mentor/muse to other people in your life? (this includes men who also have mothering qualities)
