For Sunday, November 27th, 2011

Hello all, as sunlight passes through the stained-glass windows of a cathedral, God's Light passes through us. Pure Light is transformed into myriad colors, textures, and shapes by who we individually are. At our best we enhance the world with our translucence.

May we sit this Sunday for the clarity to shine forth upon the world as needed and as we each are given to do.

 

Thank you,

Hello all, we here on the Earth plane are meant to be the physical hands and voices of God. As co-creators our calling is to reproduce Heaven in material form. We are as stained glass windows transforming pure Light into colors and shapes as it passes through us in a constant, moment by moment, expression of "As above, so below" a physical re-creation of pure Love.

 

In order that we may fully express all the colors and shapes of ourselves we have been given enough separation to act freely, according to our individual interests and desires. This ability to explore allows us to bring forth exceptional beauty in many ways.

 

May we sit this Sunday for the beauty we may produce. May it come from Above and be expressed by us in our daily lives. May it enlighten our hearts and the hearts of those around us.

 

Thank you,

 

Richard

Hello all, keeping your heart open while staring straight into a difficulty can be a path to growth. Watching the various wars, revenges, mis-deeds, greeds, and difficulties of today's world can be heart-rending. While turning away may provide a needed respite, it leaves the long run wanting. Whether in our individual lives or on the world stage the truth holds, "The heart is the only thing which works better after being broken." 

 

If we have the courage to see ourselves fearlessly, with an unwavering honesty, we find answers within. Our breaking or broken hearts will show us truth, our truths. We each have our own. It is ours to hold and cherish as a trusted guide.

 

May we sit this Sunday for that graceful, courageous process of seeing beyond anger, recriminations, and justifications. May such Graces live within us. May such Graces live in the world.

 

Thank you,

Hello all, in the mid 1960's then president Lyndon Johnson faced the choice of whether to focus time and energy on growing tensions within our large cities or on a war which, we now know, could not be won. As the problems of humanity continue to cycle through history, do we learn from them? With a growing awareness of the sanctity of human life can better chioces be made?

 

Setting aside the ease of hindsight, and knowing that learning takes time, may we sit in a lovingly unbiased manner for the highest good of all those involved in the decision making process and and for those whom their decisions affect. May Divine Light shine down upon them and upon the giant mixing bowl of chaos, karma, and free will. May we continue toward alignment with the Divine.

 

Thank you,
