The Arc of history bends towards love

 

Martin Luther King Jr. - 'The arc of the moral universse is long, but it bends towards justice', Our God is Marching On (How Long, Not Long) - 1965

The above quote I researched after reflecting upon speeches by the Honorable Former President Barack Obama where he would refer to bending the ark of history. Applying this concept to my personal efforts at making sobriety more of a priority. Total no, progress YES. Any effort made towards the light, moves the arc of history towards good, peace, justice and love. Now earlier today in a discussion with a close loved the matter of money came up. My response first was I am pursuing an educational goal presently. To add in our capitalist society when shall the money pour down and to whom? That is not my concern today - A.T. (Yoda) Brooks

The Day Before Christmas Eve: Peace, love, unity & respect for life.

 

 

    Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. 

Where there is hatred, let me bring love.

Where there is hatred, let me bring love.

Where there is offense, let me bring innocence.

Where is conflict & drama, let me bring unity.

Where there is error, let me bring truth.

    Where there is doubt & indecision, let us bring faith.

Where there us pain, let us bring healing.

Where there is darkness, let us bring light.

Where there is sadness, let us bring joy.

    O Lord, grant I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console

to be understood as to understand,

to be loved as to love,

for it is forgiving that one is forgiven

it is in pardoning that we are pardoned

it is in accepting Jesus, the Christ that

 one awakens to a new eternal life.

Amen.

Peace, Love, Unity & Healing: Mantra for December

 

This is my mantra for the day December 7, 2024. Your mantra I feel like is yours on this day; sentiments of maliciousness I can sense within the atmosphere to close to the 'Christmas holidays' yes which may have been usurped by commercialization but still has roots grounded on spirituality brothers and sisters. Peace, Love, Unity and Healing.

Peace through out the Holidays

"This morning, I am grateful for my partner, mother and spiritual community. That prayer of Peace continues to be relevant as our brothers, sisters and those persons whom simply do not like labels throughout the world experience conflicts; in the Middle East and Ukraine. Even though after so many natural disasters in the United States this year, or need are great let’s continue to direct the power of prayer to comfort & protect aide our 'extended world' family for we all are connected. My mantra this day is Peace, love and healing”. - A. T. (Yoda) Brooks

Peace Prayer of St Francis

Peace Prayer of St Francis

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love.
Where there is injury, pardon.
Where there is doubt, faith.
Where there is despair, hope.
Where there is darkness, light.
Where there is sadness, joy. 

Where there is pain, healing.

I humbly pray in the name of Jesus
grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled,
as to console; to be understood, as to understand;
to be loved, as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive.
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in accepting Jeus Christ that we are reborn into new life.

Amen.
