Awake, My Soul, Awake!

Awake, my soul, awake! - Psalm 57:8

Take some time today to receive this blessing. Let the lines sink in. Become aware of yourself and of the Holy Spirit. Which line speaks to you most? Why is that?

Blessing of Presence
- John O’Donohue

Awaken to the mystery of being here

and enter the quiet immensity of your own presence.

Have joy and peace in the temple of your senses.

Receive encouragement when new frontiers beckon.

Respond to the call of your gift and the courage to follow its path.

Let the flame of anger free you from all falsity.

May warmth of heart keep your presence aflame.

May anxiety never linger about you.

May your other dignity mirror an inner dignity of soul.

Take time to celebrate the quiet miracles that seek no attention.

Be consoled in the secret symmetry of your soul.

May you experience each day as a sacred gift woven around the heart of wonder.
