What is it to be Comforted?

Rays of One Light: Weekly Commentaries on the Bible and The Bhagavad Gita

As the Gospel says in the first Chapter:

And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Excerpts from Week 5: The Mystery of Avatara, or Divine Incarnation

Whispers From Eternity

131. Open My Inner Eye

Open my inner eye, O Fountain of Light, that I may behold Thee in the dance of the myriad‐hued atoms. Burst open the doors of space that I may see Thee behind the swirling mists of material illusion. Behind Thy walls of brilliant cosmic rays, Thou art hiding. Open every portal in Nature, that I may see Thee everywhere.

What inspired me from this week’s reading from the Rays of One Light to share with everyone was…

And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

We will take these words from the Gospel into our meditation together for reflection. But firstly we will listen to the Psalm of David sung by Mary Kretzmann.
