Reflection: Sacred Feminine

“Words of Awareness

“St. Brigid embodies the beauty and strength of the sacred feminine, which is deep within us all. Stories of her life call forth this dimension of the divine in us, that we may be strong again to serve the interrelationship of all things, within us, between us, and among us in the world.

“(Reflect for a brief time on the ways this wisdom applies to your life.)

“Prayer of Awareness

“Awake, O my soul,
To the beauty of the divine deep within you
And awake to its fragrance in the body of the earth.
Know its strength of attraction
And its grace to heal what has been torn apart.
Awake, O my soul,
To the beauty of the divine deep within you.

“(Listen silently for a few minutes within the sacredness of your being.)

“Awake, O my soul. Awake."

Reflection: Sacred Imagination

“Words of Awareness

“Alexander John Scott taught that in every moment and encounter of life we can imagine the intermingling of heaven and earth, time and eternity, spirit and matter. Together we can dream our way forward into what has never been before.

“(Reflect for a brief time on the ways this wisdom applies to your life.)

“Awake, O my soul,
To the sacred dreams that are stirring within you.
Awake to the imaginations of the heart
And the cherished hopes of what is yet to be.
Do not be afraid.
Awake, O my soul.
To the sacred dreams that are stirring within you.

“(Listen silently for a few minutes within the sacredness of your being.)

“Awake, O my soul. Awake."
