Bless All the Daughters

Like me, one of Miska’s true joys is to speak a blessing over others. I think I must have learned this from her. Recently, Miska wrote a blessing for women in our little All Souls community. Receive these good words as your own – and they work just as well for those of us who go by the name ‘sons.’

Blessed are you, beloved daughters of God.

Lift up your hands, your eyes, your hearts

to the Living God.

Get into that soul posture of receiving.

May you continually re-orient your Being

to what is Real;

May you have the courage and grace

to receive Life from God in whatever

astonishing and unexpected ways He sends it.

Enter into the mystery!

May you hear Jesus calling your name–

calling your name–

inviting you to rise up, come forth into life

and be unbound.

Be blessed–may it be well with your soul–

for the Lord is your God,

and He is making all the sad and broken things come untrue

and He is making all things new.

In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Spirit,

may it be so.
