I am blessed to communicate openly with my guardian angel, Allison. In my morning meditation, I asked her about Ash Wednesday and if she would offer me her thoughts on this day. She said yes, offered a few thoughts, then a wonderful prayer. I will share both. Scroll down for the prayer.
Allison: We are happy to assist you in this matter as we know your mind is often full of these thoughts of ascertaining the absolute truth. We so love being able to assist you in these matters.
Well, for now my dear one, remember that prayer is always good as it puts you in touch with your Lord God and creator. So nothing wrong with that!!! As for all the beliefs and tenets surrounding Ash Wednesday, we could write a book about which aspects are complete truth and which point you to truth. Today I would have you focus on the best of Ash Wednesday which is to have the penitent focus their attention and mindfulness all day long on the Lord their God and Creator of All That Is, also the Creator of Heaven and Earth. This is a blessed opportunity to have more of yourself in touch with creation. Not just a part, but all of you. Focusing your mind, heart and soul on the Lord can only bring good things to you and your blessed world. So I would be happy to take you through a set of prayers for this day if you would like.
Debbi: OF COURSE!!!! PLEASE do direct me. I would so appreciate this opportunity to learn from the heavenly angels.
Allison: Very sweet my child. So the best way might be for me to say a few words and then have you repeat them or even type them and then we will continue with the next line, OK?
Debbi: Perfect. I am ready.
Here is the Ash Wednesday prayer from my Guardian Angel Allison:
Allison: In this holy day of the Lord, blessed are those who call upon Him.
Blessed are those who set their mind, heart and soul upon His countenance.
Blessed are those who trust in his faithfulness and unending love.
Blessed are those who mind His ways and walk His sacred paths.
Blessed are those who adore His loving nature and seek to pass on His unending love.
Blessed are those who strive to be like The Lord their God and consider His way the true way.
Blessed are those who seek perfection in all things.*
Blessed are those who seek the greater good of all.
Blessed are those who adore the Lord with all their hearts.
Blessed are those who seek no retribution but seek rather to sink their hearts and minds into the will of the Lord and trust in his true countenance. It is there for each and every one of you.
Blessed are those who are not afraid to seek within rather than without for the truths of the Lord.
Blessed are those who understand that the Lord their God lives within their hearts and minds and is very active here when given full attention and awareness.
Blessed are those who seek the will of the Lord.
Blessed are those who seek to find the love of the Lord in all situations, places, persons and life opportunities.
Blessed are those who seek to find more holiness within themselves than outside themselves.
Blessed are those who seek the Love of the Lord in all moments of their earthly lives.
In these thoughts and prayers I beseech you to focus your hearts and minds on the love and holy presence of the Lord your God.
May God be with you this holy day.
In Christ's name, Amen.
* (This is not about "being" perfect as much as understanding that in the will of the Lord, all things are naturally perfect.)
My next post will be about the light healing meditation the angels gave me last fall. I will also post a painting I am working on that is my interpretation of the vivid colors of light in the meditation. Have a blessed day.
Debbi
