Rev. Pam’s Reflections

Rev. Pam gave a wonderful talk on the Lord’s Prayer on May 31, and handed out two different versions of the prayer. For those who missed it, here they are:

Our Lady Prayer

Our Mother

Who art amongst us

Hallowed is thy Presence.

Our realm is here,

We sense Thee near,

On Earth, which is our living heaven.

Teach us this day

To bake our Bread,

And accept us in our transgressions –

That we may accept ourselves.

Lead us not into domination,

But empower us to freedom;

For ours is this Earth,

This water,

This air,

Forever and ever.

Amen.

 

 

Our Father Prayer

(From the Aramaic translation by Neil Douglas-Klotz)

 

O, Birther of the Cosmos,

Focus your Light within us,
Make it useful.

Create your reign of unity now.

Your one desire then acts with ours

As in all Light, so in all forms.

Grant us what we need each day

In bread and insight;

Loose the cords of mistakes binding us

As we release the strands we hold of other’s guilt.

Don’t let surface things delude us,

But free us from what holds us back.

From you is born all ruling will,

The power and the life to do,

The song that beautifies all,

From age to age it renews.

This I affirm with my whole being.

Rev. Pam’s Reflections

As spring returns, it is a perfect time to reconnect with the beauty of nature and the resurrecting power of life. Take time to look at the snow on the mountaintops, the flowers emerging from winter’s depths, and the birds that fill our skies with their songs. In this season of the Earth, it brings us joy to celebrate Mother Earth, Father Sky, the plant and mineral kingdoms, the variety of God’s creatures, and all of humanity. For we are truly and wonderfully woven together in this tapestry of life.

One of my favorite passages that speaks to this Oneness of life with its amazing diversity and interconnectedness comes from Black Elk of the Oglala Lakota (Sioux) tribe:

I was seeing in a sacred manner the shapes of all things in Spirit, and the shape of all shapes as they must live together like one being. And I saw that the sacred hoop of my people was one of many hoops that made one circle, wide as daylight and as starlight, and in the center there grew one mighty flowering tree to shelter all the children of one mother and one father. And I saw that it was holy.

I love that line: “And I saw that it was holy.” All of life is holy. Each and every soul is holy. In Unity we seek to see the world in a sacred manner. We honor all spiritual traditions as branches of the one great tree of Divine Presence, each bearing delicious fruit and glorious blossoms.

In Unity’s Five Spiritual Truths we express this wonder and joy from which understanding and compassion spring forth:

Truth 1:  There is one Presence and one Power – God – by whatever name one chooses to call that Divine Spark from which we all emanate.

Truth 2:  The Presence of God indwells all things. We call it the Christ Within, but we honor that presence in all beings regardless of spiritual path.

Truth 3:  The Creative Power of Thought is our Divine inheritance. Through this we form our lives and our world – and we seek to do this consciously and gracefully.

Truth 4:  The Power of Prayer heals, uplifts, and transforms us – the Kingdom of Heaven is made manifest on Earth in, through, and as us.

Truth 5:  We are here to be the Light for ourselves, others, and our world. We are eternal spiritual beings having an earthly experience for a Divine reason.

Allow one of these truths to settle into your heart, expand your mind, and inspire your actions in the coming months. Meditate upon it. Walk through our shared world with this knowing. Let the consciousness of the Christ reconnect you to all of life and to the unique expression of life that you are. Let it spring forth with faithful willingness – and watch for miracles!
