Guided by The Heart of Centering Prayer by Cynthia Bourgeault.
If Jesus needed to practice care for himself, it’s pretty likely that we need to, too. Jesus modeled a healthy cycle of engagement with others and restorative practices. Jesus prayed. Mark tells us that Jesus “went off to a solitary place, where he prayed.” Matthew writes that “he went up a mountainside by himself to pray.” Luke states that “Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.” Jesus actively engaged his well-being in a world where there were a multitude of distractions and where crowds needed him. He could have been healing more people during that time — curing leprosy and blindness. He could have been feeding the hungry. He could have been performing miracles that fulfilled the law and prophecies. Instead, he chose to take care of himself. We could even go so far as to say he had to take care of his well-being so that he could continue healing, feeding, and evangelizing.
