Prayer for Soul Connection

Mind connects to Heart
Heart connects to Soul
Soul connects to Divinity
All are within and through me
I breathe with my Souls breath
And knowing permeates my body
My soul has been with me since the beginning of time
And will be with me until the end of time
As I connect in this incarnation
I know my purpose
The cloud of unknowing is no more
Only by connecting within do I feel my souls essence
Only by bringing it forth do I allow it to shine
I ask to be congruent with its essence
I ask for clarity in my purpose
And honor what was agreed to in my souls fusion with this body
I am blessed with connection
I am blessed with purpose
I am blessed with divinity
I breathe my souls breath
I am on fire, my soul ignited
In love, in Life
I walk my souls path
And I am set free
And so it is
Thank you
Amen

You Were Born Together

by Khalil Gibran

"You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore. You shall be together when the white wings of death scatter your days. Aye, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God. But let there be spades in your togetherness. And let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love. Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each other’s cup but drink not from one cup. Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf. Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each of you be alone, even as the strings of the lute are alone though they quiver with the same music. Give your hearts, but not into each other’s keeping. For only the land of Life can contain your hearts. And stand together, yet not too near together, for the pillars of the temple stand apart, and the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other’s shadow."

Touched By An Angel

by Maya Angelou

We, unaccustomed to courage
exiles from delight
live coiled in shells of loneliness
until love leaves its high holy temple
and comes into our sight
to liberate us into life.

Love arrives
and in its train come ecstasies
old memories of pleasure
ancient histories of pain.
Yet if we are bold,
love strikes away the chains of fear
from our souls.

We are weaned from our timidity
In the flush of love's light
we dare be brave
And suddenly we see
that love costs all we are
and will ever be.
Yet it is only love
which sets us free.

A Prayer For Valentine's Day

from Out of the Ordinary by Joyce Rupp

Praise to the One whose love stirs the ancient embers
sparks the breath of prayer

Praise to the One whose love entices the wandering
beckons the confused

Praise to the One whose love grows wings on the weary
dreams hope in the discouraged

Praise to the One whose love soothes with the ointment of mercy
transforms with the touch of compassion

Praise to the One whose love threads the energy of friendship
stitches the strength of fidelity

Praise to the One whose love tickles the soul with laughter
urges the heart toward joy

Praise to the one whose love embraces the untamed
dances with the passionate

All praise to this Gracious One
All gratitude to this Beloved
All love to this Mentor of Friendship
All devotion to this Shaper of Hearts.

A new look at The Lords Prayer

"The Lords Prayer for 2009"

By Rev. David Essel

Our Father, Our Mother Mary

Our God, Our Goddess,

Who resides in Heaven and on Earth

Blessed are your names

Thy Kingdom come

Thy will be done

On Earth now, as it is in Heaven

Give us this day

Our daily blessings

And forgive us for our errors

As we forgive those who have hurt us in some way

Lead us away from temptation

And Deliver us from wrongful desires and attachments.

Instead, fill our hearts with love and gratitude.

And so it is, and so it will be.

Amen.
