THANK YOU!

Source of physical being; help me to hear you in my body. Teach me to tend to my physical needs and be aware of my bodily conditions.

Enter my hearing, Oh, silence
Soften my sight with love
Rid my thoughts of harshness
Open my search for good

There once was an extraordinary young man
born in Nazareth centuries before
airplanes, cars, or computers
but a man in many ways similar
to you and I.

All of us have experienced mental or physical suffering at the hands of other people. But each of us has also brought suffering to others.

Ceremonies are points of cohesion beyond the boundaries of reason, a journey into the shadowy mystical world of the human spirit …

We live in a society were many older people feel put out to grass – no longer useful
All: Help us to live life in all its fullness

The professor and mountaineer Ernest Gellner told of how he once became lost. No matter how he tried to follow his map, he could not find his way down the mountain. Then he realized that his map was of the wrong mountain.

I grow
Faith in forgiveness
When willing

Wholeness is a process rather than a static state: it is not an end to the journey but the journey itself.

A marvelous mystery
the eternal embrace
always there
enfolding
infusing

Open my heart,
Pure Healing Power
To remove emotional pain;
Open this heart
Pure Healing Power
Again, again, again

Take me as I am.
Lead me on.
Lead me on
through the night of mystery
into the morning song.

What went wrong? Oh, what went wrong?

I sought to be humble
But boasted

I believe in a mysterious impulse, where the essence of peace restores what is good
I believe in healing love that grows through faith to create joy

Before we start, we all will exit outside to the labyrinth and begin our silence. Walk the labyrinth to the center and back out while meditating on quieting and listening to the Divine within.

Covenant, the promise that humans, especially those who understand our mortality, receive from the Eternal One. Co-creation, the promise that our thoughts, decisions and actions during the regular course of the day matter. We either choose to be aligned in the ways of Spirit or we choose not to be. Sometimes our awareness of what we are choosing is conscious and sometimes it is not. When our choices are aligned in Spirit’s ways, we bring about God’s kin’dom, which is something of great value to earth.

The unthankful get the misery which they have brought upon themselves
Nothing liberates the human mind as much as a thankful spirit.

Oh, Source of All Gratitude, help us to be Thankful when we are tested to our limits
