Blog Post #74

According to Ukrainian folklore:

Pysanky are synonymous with Peace.

The more pysanky are written, the more peace manifests in the world.

Quietude is a state of stillness, calmness and peacefulness. It is a state that

pysanky writers experience when writing a pysanka.

May the light and love of this holy season uplift your heart and soul.

May you feel the transforming blessings of God’s love.

Let loving acts of compassion and forgiveness resurrect the divinity of your soul.

May Jesus’ example be a radiant reminder of your soul’s immortality.

May His glorious triumph of humility over might, of love over hate, of soul over ego,

inspire your own glorious triumph of light over darkness.

Find strength in loving unconditionally.

In quietude, resurrect the omnipresent peace of your soul.

Warm wishes for a very Happy Easter.

May you feel the joy of the Infinite Lord Jesus with you always!

“What the world needs now is love, sweet love. It's the only thing, that there's just too little of. What the world needs now is love, sweet love,
No, not just for some, but for everyone.”

— Hal David

Peace Affirming Prayer

Peace fills my mind and flows through all my thoughts.

Peace fills my heart and flows through all my love.

Peace fills my soul and goodwill flows to all.

Peace fills my being and permeates all my activities.

Peace within. Peace without. Peace everywhere.

Peace in my mind. Peace in my heart. Peace in my soul.

Peace in me. Peace in my home. Peace in my country. Peace in my world.

Peace everywhere.

Amen.

Ukrainian folklore characterizes pysanky as a symbolic, talismanic writing that invokes a higher Universal Power for help, while believing with faithful certainty that It will. The contemporary version of this characterization is a paper-and-pen journaling practice called prayer writing that develops a personal relationship with God.
