The Jewish Holy Day of Passover is about overcoming and liberation and the Christian Holy Day of Easter is about the awakening and transformation of consciousness. These holy days are celebrated during the season of spring, a time of renewal and the blossoming of new life that follows the bareness and the bitterness of winter.
During the service on Sunday, April 10th, I discussed the metaphysical meaning of the crucifixion, the tomb, and the resurrection as the interplay of shadow and light aspects within and as the symbolic stages of our spiritual growth process.
The crucifixion represents the painful endings in our lives. Entering the tomb or the void is a necessary stage we are asked to experience after significant endings in our lives. According to Unity Minister and author, Robert Brumet, “The Void is a rite of passage in which the initiate encounters his/her transformational power, but first must face the dark side of himself/herself. The void is a period when we shed the husks of our old self in order to become more of who we truly are.”
The stage of the void requires resilience, determination, strength, self-compassion, and faith to endure the process of relinquishing self-limiting beliefs and behaviors that are familiar yet contribute to our pain and suffering. Frequently, individuals are tempted to bypass this uncomfortable stage and erroneously believe their suffering can be alleviated by changing the physical circumstances of their lives without doing the inner spiritual work of reflection, acceptance, and letting go.
During the service on April 10th, I also invited each one of you to courageously identify and be willing to bless and relinquish through the practices of prayer, meditation, and self-compassion one of the following:
During your practice of reflection, acceptance, and release, I invite you to uncover the blessing offered by your personal inner struggles and conflict and become aware of the transformative power it offers you. It is your teacher and is an invitation to step into a more expansive expression of your Divine Nature.
In preparation for our Sunday service on April 17th, I have attached coloring pages of images that represent the dance between the dark and the light aspects we experience on the journey of spiritual awakening and transformation.
I invite you to choose one to color. The image you choose will be a symbol of what you are shedding and the transformation you are claiming for yourself.
You will be given an opportunity to share your image and its symbolism during the service and again during fellowship.
Let us come together to celebrate the courage, strength, resilience, and transformational power we each possess.
Let us rejoice in the promise and celebration of new life!
Love, and Light,
Rev. Angela
The name “Maundy Thursday” comes from the Latin Dias Mandatum, which means the “day of the new commandment. At the Last Supper the Master Teacher, Jesus, told the Disciples that the greatest commandment is to Love another. Come and experience the Last Supper through the metaphysical lens as we reflect on the Cosmic Readings of Love from the Gospel of John, virtually break bread with one another, and deepen our embodiment of our 12 Spiritual Powers represented by the 12 Apostles.
NOTE:
Please bring a glass of wine or grape juice and a piece of bread to the virtual service.

March 02, 2022, Ash Wednesday, marks the beginning of the Lenten season, which is observed by many Christian Faith communities worldwide. During the season of Lent, the forty days leading up to Easter Sunday, many individuals focus on simple living, prayer, and fasting in order to awaken and be transformed.
New Thought Communities like Unity invite individuals of all faith traditions into the devotional practice of Forty Days of Releasing and Renewing. Releasing is the practice of relinquishing your energy from thoughts, beliefs, words, and behaviors that stand in the way of living more peacefully, authentically, and with meaning and purpose. Renewing, on the other hand, is the daily practice of energizing thoughts and ways of being that foster peace, gratitude, appreciation, compassion, personal growth and transformation, and being of service to others.
By consciously engaging your Spiritual Powers of Elimination, Life, and Dominion you have an opportunity on a daily basis during Lent and throughout the year to let go of limiting ways of being and to animate thoughts, words, and actions that enhance our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
Please join me in a reflective prayer ceremony where you will have an opportunity to make a commitment to relinquish your energy from dis-empowering thoughts and behaviors, affirm Truth, and select a Spiritual Power to consciously embody for the next 40 days. I invite you to bring a dab of oil with you to this service, for it will be used to anoint your forehead, third eye.
Love and light,
Rev. Angela Denton
