Poetry, Prose and Prayers

 

 

 

I am sending you my special angel
On the wings of pure love
One of exquisite beauty
From heaven above.

 

I am sending her to you
Just so you will know
I care so much about you
And wanted to tell you so.

 

I have called upon my angel
And sending her to you
To comfort, love, and guide
In everything you do.

 

Her soft wings will gather
Close around your soul
When you feel that touch
from "nowhere'
Then you will know.

 

She has promised to protect you
To keep you safe from harm
To take away the dark fears
To make your heart light and warm.

 

Trust in your "angel"
You will feel her all around
In your time of loneliness
Is when she will be found.

I am the Light

 I am the light

I am the darkness

I am the one-ness

I am the God Force.

 

I am space

I am emptiness

I am nothingness

I am.

 

I am creator

I am past, present and future all in one

I am all time.

 

I am all-knowing

All-Loving

All-Creating.

 

I am now

I am be-ing

I am me

I am wonder-full

I am all-that-is.

 

I am knowledge

I am whole

Me

The Soul.

 

I am Universe

I am the sun, the moon and the stars.

 

I am anything and everything, all wrapped into one

I am all-embracing

I am Love

I am The Truth.

Angelic Light

(a short prayer)

Angelic Light shine on us all here tonight.

Let your light shine and bring peace to every household here tonight.

And calm for future days and nights.

 

Realms of glory, shining bright

Shining bright, shining heavenly light.

Barbara Burgess (Written at Long Eaton Spiritualist Church, Derby, 2007)

 

Angelic Light

(a short prayer)

Angelic Light, shining bright

Heavenly glow, serene and bright

Make the clouds disappear from our lives and all our days bright.

Angelic Voices

Angelic Voices serene and clear

Listen here, listen here.

 

Listen to our song

Listen to our worldy voices

Godly voices with messages for everyone.

 

Angelic Voices

loud and clear

Listen now, listen here.

Songs of love

Songs of joy

For young and old

Man and boy.

People are often unreasonable, illogical and self centred;

Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish ulterior motives;

Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;

Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;

Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;

Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;

Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;

Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough;

Give the world the best you've got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God;

It was never between you and them anyway.

Mother Teresa 

 

 

Saint Theresa is known as the Saint of the Little Ways.
 She believed in doing the little things in life Well and with Great Love. 
She is also the Patron Saint of Flower Growers and Florists.
 She is Represented by Roses.
 
May everyone who receives St. Theresa's Prayer be blessed.
Prayer is one of the best free gifts we receive.
 
 
St. Theresa's Prayer:
 
May today there be peace within.
May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.
May you use those gifts that you have received, 
And pass on the love that has been given to you....
May you be content knowing you are a child of  God....
Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul  
The freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.
It is there for each and every one of us.
 
Remembering Nature

Ancient Welsh Song:  from

The Black Book of Carmarthen.

 

"I am the wind that breathes upon  the sea,

I am the wave on the ocean,

I am the murmer of the leaves rustling,

I am the rays of the sun,

I am the beam of the moon and stars,

I am the power of trees growing,

I am the bud breaking into blossom,

I am the movement of the salmon swimming,

I am the courage of the wild boar fighting,

I am the speed of the stag running,

I am the strength of the ox pulling the plough,

I am the size of the mighty oak tree,

And I am the thoughts of all the people

Who praise my beauty and grace."

 

"If all the beasts were gone, man would die from great loneliness of spirit, for whatever happens to the beasts also happens to man."

Chief Seattle in a letter to U.S. Presidant Franklin Pierce 1855.

 

To All Beings

This is a Buddhist prayer which can be used to end workshops and meditations.

Peace to all beings - North, South, West, East, Above, Below.
Peace to all beings.

Joy to all beings - North, South, West, East, Above, Below.
Joy to all beings.

Compassion to all beings - North, South, West, East, Above, Below.
Compassion to all beings.

Love to all beings - North, South, West, East, Above, Below.
Love to all beings.

 

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesn't serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so
that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do.
We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other
people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others."
 
By Marianne Willamson

How Could anyone

How could anyone ever tell you

You were anything less than beautiful

How could anyone ever tell you?

You were less than whole

 

How could anyone fail to notice

That your loving is a miracle

How deeply you’re connected to my soul.

Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace,
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
Where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
To be understood, as to understand,
To be loved, as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive,
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
It is in dying to self that we are born to eternal life.
— St. Francis of Assisi

 

Grandfather took me to a fish pond when I was about seven, and he told me to throw a stone into the water. He said, "Pay close attention to the the circles created by the stone." Then he asked me to think of myself as a stone person.

"You will create lots of splashes on the universal pond of life," he said, "and the waves created by those splashes will disturb the peace of Mother Earth and all her creatures."

"Remember always that you are responsible for the circles you make--your circles will also touch many other circles. It is best to live in a way that allows the good that comes from your circles to send the peace of that goodness to others. Also remember that the splash which comes from anger or jealousy will send ripples of those feelings to other circles. You are responsible for both."

"Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened." ~ Anatole France

 

Oh Great  Spirit

In the name of Raven.  In the name of Wolf.  In the name of Whale.  In the name of Snake.

Who have taught us.  Who have guided us. Who have sustained us.

Who have healed us.

Please heal the animals.

 

In the name of Raven.  In the name of Wolf.   In the name of Whale.   In the name of Snake.

Whom we have slaughtered.  Whom we have feared.  Whom we have caged.

Whom we have persecuted.  Whom we have slandered.  Whom we have cursed.

Whom we have tortured.

Please protect the animals.

 

In the name of Raven.   In the name of Wolf.  In the name of Whale.  In the name of Snake.

Whose habitat we have stolen.  Whose territory we have plundered. 

Whose feeding grounds we have paved or netted.  Whose domain we have poisoned.

Whose food we have appropriated.  Whose young we have killed.

Whose lives and ways of life we threaten.

Please restore the animals.

 

In the name of  Raven.  In the name of Wolf.  In the name of Whale.  In the name of Snake.

Forgive us.  Have mercy.  May they return.  Not as a resurrection, but as living beings.

Here.  On this earth that is also theirs.

 

Oh Great Spirit.  Please heal the animals.  Please protect the animals.  Please restore the animals.

 

So our lives may also be healed.  So our souls may also return.

So our spirits may also be restored.

 

Oh Spirit of Raven.  Oh Spirit of Wolf.  Oh Spirit of Whale. Oh Spirit of Snake.

 

Teach us, again, how to live.
