So yes, today is a very special day. It is the beginning of Lent. The Sun just moved into Pisces, and we have a new moon -- it's a great time to start a spiritual journey. Pisces, with its symbol of the fish, is regarded as the spiritual guru of the zodiac. I do know that I have never met a Pisces who did not believe in a greater power. For the most part, Piscean people are spiritually inclined, compassionate, and believe in the good of humanity.
So let's make today SPECIAL! Let's do something different. I really want to have a great Lent this year d.v. and I am inviting you to join me on the journey of 40 days and 40 nights. I am forever grateful for the year I gave up sugar in my tea -- that one stuck! But there are even greater treasures to be unearthed during our time in the "desert." Alone time to connect with our maker...
Day 1 TODAY:
Find the sunniest, happiest, most peaceful place in your home or garden.
Surround yourself with images that transport you: deceased loved ones, God, Our Lady, Angels -- anything that connects you to the Divine.
Light a candle and focus on the flame.
Close your eyes, and do some relaxation and breathing exercises.
Have some nice soft, angelic music playing in the background, or birds singing in the trees.
NOW...
BE SILENT
BE STILL
ALONE, EMPTY
BEFORE YOUR GOD
SAY NOTHING
BE SILENT
BE STILL
LET YOUR GOD LOOK UPON YOU
THAT IS ALL
HE KNOWS
HE UNDERSTANDS
HE LOVES YOU WITH AN ENORMOUS LOVE
HE ONLY WANTS TO LOOK UPON YOU WITH HIS LOVE
Q U I E T...
BE STILL
LET YOUR GOD LOVE YOU...
After quiet contemplation and prayer. make a list of some ways you can show your gratitude to God during Lent. Try to practise a random act of kindness each day -- give alms to the poor, visit a shelter, etc. Maybe go off coffee or sweets, and the money spared could go to your charity of choice.
EnJOY Day 1 of the journey...
Love and Hugs,
