A reading from How To Focus, by Thich Nhat Hanh  

Gladdening the Mind…

Breathing In, I make my mind happy.

Breathing out, I make my mind happy.

It's easier for the mind to become concentrated when it's in a peaceful, happy state then when it's filled with sorrow or anxiety. We are aware that we have the opportunity to practice meditation and that there is no moment as important as the present one. Calmly abiding in the present moment, joy arises each time we touch in ourselves the seeds of compassion, faith, goodness, equanimity, liberty, love, forgiveness, understanding, and so on. We know these mental formations are buried deep in our consciousness as seeds, and we need only touch them and water them with conscious breathing for them to manifest. In our daily life we should be able to nourish them and give them a chance to manifest as beautiful mental formations. Whenever the mental formation of compassion or joy arises, we feel wonderful. We have many good mental formations like this in our consciousness, and we should give them a chance to manifest as often as possible.

…We want to water the seeds of joy, happiness and compassion in ourselves and others. This practice of selective watering or Right Diligence, strengthens our mind, so that we are able to look at ourselves and others with more clarity and solidity. 

Let us take a minute to breathe …

Our second reading is:

THE COMPANIONS’ ROSARY

THE COMPANIONS’ ROSARY

Praying the Holy Rosary

In Original Blessing Theology

Introduction to The Companions’ Rosary

Saying the Holy Rosary is a special focus of prayer and meditation that provides for each of us a state of contemplation and mystical connection. 

When aligning to the Grace of Mary, we can have a sense of purpose in praying for others and ourselves. It can be a singular and private prayer or a community endeavor. 

For those of us who are becoming steeped in Original Blessing Theology, the traditional prayers of the Holy Rosary can be daunting. When changing the wording to better reflect the concepts of Blessing Theology, it seems important to keep a sense of the timing and inflection of the prayers as we have learned them. 

The Companions' Rosary is an attempt to combine the prayers of the rosary within present-day theology of original blessing. 

To all whom feel called to pray in this way, prayers and blessings to you. May we all continue to connect, in whatever way we can, to the Holy One, to Mary and to each other.  

And so it is.

The Sign of the “Cross”.  A Shield of Protection and Love.

The sign of the cross can impress on us the concept of a theology of sacrifice and atonement.  The sign of the “cross”, here, building on the trinity and St. Paul's greetings, can also be a Shield of Protection and Love.

In the name of Peace (hand at the forehead)

And Love (hand at the heart)

And Grace (The Infinity sign across from one shoulder to the other, and back to the heart.) 

AMEN.
