REMAINING FAITHFUL MESSAGE WITH REVEREND MARY WHITE
Good Afternoon and Blessings
In the busyness of life most do not take the time for silence. We allow our mind to control every waking minute and ignore the self’s need for peace and quiet to replenish and revitalise. Practicing meditation has been very helpful when needing a time for relaxation and calm. It helps us to become enlightened and awake to life.
Stay safe. Stay connected.
Blessings and the strength of Love be with you.
Rev. Mary
Reading Excerpt from The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran
When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy. When you are sorrowful, look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight. Some of you say, ‘Joy is greater than sorrow,’ and others say, ‘Nay, sorrow is the greater.’ But I say unto you, they are inseparable. Together they come, and when one sits alone with you at your board, remember that the other is asleep upon your bed.
Truthfully you are suspended like scales between your sorrow and your joy. Only when you are empty are you at standstill and balanced. When the treasure-keeper lifts you to weigh his gold and his silver, dictates your joy or your sorrow rise or fall.
Prayer
Mysterious One
You surround us through our gains and losses, our highs and lows, our mountains and valleys.
Comfort us with your healing embrace during our valley times and help us be aware of your presence during our mountain experiences.
May we practice times of silence to get up and go forth on the journey before us, knowing that wherever we are led, life is our path toward home.
May we continue our life travels in faith, in hope and in love. We pray this in the name of the One who journeys with us.
Amen
