Ash Wednesday again

I thought it was about time that we
reclaim Ash Wednesday for Life
rather than painful experiences.

Two years ago I wrote a little piece about
Ash Wednesday and fasting.......

You can find it here
As you can see, there was a long journey
to be taken to find the gift.

This year I decided to try something different.

We will have a Christal Temple Midday Prayer
to celebrate(!) the day ...
it will be a short ritual in the manner of
communities who pray several times a day.

An invocation to the Holy Spirit,
a hymn, a psalm, a reading,
a meditation and some prayers

We will also bless ashes as our means
of looking forward to the time of being
raised into the Spirit of the Divine Phoenix -
Easter, New Life and Resurrection -
letting go of those things which hinder us
from being True to our Divine Purpose.

Wed 25th February
12 noon

in the Back Kitchen Temple

Please join us on the inner planes

Every blessing

John O
