St. Stephen’s has a labyrinth, or prayer path, behind the 50th Street Wing and beside Minnehaha Creek. You are welcome to visit this beautiful space for prayer and meditation. It’s a wonderful place to simply listen to God. You will also find there a bench where you can sit for a moment before walking the path from outside to the center and then back out into the world again. Here’s a prayer for that journey:
O God, full of compassion, we commit and commend ourselves to you, in whom we live and move and have our being. Be the goal of our pilgrimage, and our rest by the way. Give us refuge from the turmoil of worldly distractions beneath the shadow of your wings. Let our hearts, so often a sea of restless waves, find peace in you, O God; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
