Thank you from the bottom of my expanding heart to all who shared last weekend with us.Your energy, love and devotion just filled the room, joined
us together and allowed us to be effective conduits for the grace that continually pours forth.We rocked from the first opening notes of our musical ministry guests, Soulfyre, to the closing words on Sunday!
The very act of gathering together on Friday night initiated our homecoming.How wonderful to see so many familiar and loved faces, greeting one another and embracing the return of our spiritual leader Paul! The beautiful altar, flowers, draped chairs and the fabulous new picture of Ron as an Avatar enhanced the feeling of sacredness.And when Soulfyre began to sing, the energy continued to build, and feelings of Oneness and love enveloped us all. Paul's healing ceremony was filled with love as he blessed each and every one of us with welcome words of encouragement, deep love, and healing grace.
Saturday continued the deepening, and Elizabeth Lawrence led us into centering prayer.Again, we were graced with the outflow of high frequency beings and Divine energy.Paul offered an empowerment service to support each of our individual ministries and expressions.
Ron appeared and we heaved a collective sigh of joy and reverence.One by one people thanked Ron for his impact on their lives and shared their love and received blessings.His tears often mingled with those of the participants as both communed in deep love, and he radiated sweetness, vulnerability and surrender.Ron's love for us and his own commitment to keep filling the container known as Celebrating Life remains strong, and the baton of spiritual authority was energetically passed to Paul this weekend.
Later that day, we shared the mission and vision of Celebrating Life in support of our individual and collective ministries in the world to offer a place of recharge, renewal, remembrance and love, and to continually deepen our experiences of the Holy Spirit (and Spirits!). Our mission and vision statements will be posted on our website soon.
We then had the opportunity to hear from our newest staff member, Father John Blair, who has graciously taken on the leadership role for the educational program. Father John offered a perspective on contemplative prayer with a heart-centered approach, devotion and connection with a loving presence. He, along with a few members of our community, became the arms of the Divine as one by one everyone came up to be hugged or embraced by holy love. On Saturday night we each had the opportunity to experience laying on of hands offered by individual community members and experienced God's healing love, always available.
Sunday was the day we prepared for communion. Robbins Hopkins offered deep prayers and commanded any inherited or current dark energies of various origins to leave our beings and bodies and be replaced with Love. Then, while the participants continued to chant, those of the ordained and monastic community left briefly to robe and prepare to process in. And in that brief time with perhaps twenty of us as witness in the chapel room, Paul was energetically ordained as the new spiritual shepherd of Celebrating Life. That "new" power was evident as Paul consecrated the host and wine. When Soulfyre invited, in four part harmony, "all restless spirits, all hungry hearts...those who wander... who thirst... through endless space and time... all the lost and the left behind... to gather round and share this meal...", the frequency lifted more as the room was flooded with those from the other side as well. Following communion, Nettie Spiwack and Father John were ordained and Bob Bearden, Linda Krause and Father John were professed into the monastic community. Paul's new powerful authority was in full evidence as he spoke eloquently to each and conferred additional spiritual potency to their work.
We closed the event with a candle lighting ceremony in which each person received and lit one another candles as we were serenaded and blessed to go out and serve our communities with our God-ordained gifts.Paul was able to have his cake and eat it too as we offered up early birthday, May 13 (and re-birth) blessings to him.
It was an awesome weekend and I believe it affirmed for all of us that Celebrating Life remains a potent spiritual home and is being divinely inspired, guided and blessed as it moves into its next form of expression.And Ron, you are our Beloved Teacher and Spiritual Father.Thank you, Abba, for the seeds you have birthed, nurtured and now cast out in the world.We go forward on those wings you have filled and ask for your ongoing blessings as you continue to pour forth vast amounts of God's Presence while you engage in your dance with the Divine. With the potency you have taught us, we continue to offer our own blessings on your behalf.And to my spiritual brothers and sisters, let us continue to grow and share Ron's legacy as we grow into our Divine Birthrights.
Love, Susi Roos & Celebrating Life Ministries
