Healing Wounds, Our Prayers Like Incense
Reminding ourselves we are now working under the Sun in Libra and Mercury retrograde in Libra, which will continue ‘til October 18 (station direct at 10 degrees Libra). We remain in the retrograde shadow through November 4th. It will seem like a long Mercury retrograde, when considering the retrograde shadow.
We remember not to begin anything new during the retrograde, sign important papers, purchase important items and not to expect people to communicate clearly. But we can have compassion for others who may be stumbling along.
Wednesday, Sept. 29 is Michaelmas, feast day of St. Michael the Archangel. Earth’s protector, Archangel Michael stands at attention, sword in hand, throughout all of Autumn. In these times of crisis and transition we too hold high a flaming sword, standing with the Forces of Light so evolution for humanity and the Earth can proceed forward and on schedule, under Truth and the Rule of Law.
Sunday, October 3 is the feast day of St. Francis of Assissi (Oct. 3, 1226), Italian poet, literary writer, and founder of the Franciscan (men) and Holy Clare’s (women) Orders. St. Francis is the patron saint of animals, the environment and of Italy. Each October 3rd Catholic & Anglican churches hold ceremonies blessing the animal kingdom.
Francis preached the teachings of the Catholic Church, that the world was created good and beautiful by God but suffers a need for redemption due to ignorance. Francis informed both people and animals that the ability and duty of all creatures was to praise God (Psalm’s theme) and taught that the duty of humanity was to protect and enjoy nature as stewards of God’s creation.
There is a legend that St. Francis, on his deathbed, thanked his donkey for carrying and helping him throughout his life, and his donkey wept. When St. Francis died he was singing Psalm 141
1 I call to You, O Lord; Hear my voice. 2 May my prayers be like incense, my hands lifted up be the evening sacrifice. 3 Set a guard over my mouth, keep watch over my lips. 4 Let not my heart be drawn to evil, let me not eat of their delicacies. 8 My eyes are fixed upon the LORD where I take refuge—
St. Francis loved the larks flying about his hilltop town. Francis wrote a Canticle of the Creatures, an ode to God’s living things.
“All praise to you, Oh Lord. For all these brother and sister creatures.”
Francis wrote of healing wounds, being united, helping those in need. “We have been called to heal wounds, to unite what has fallen apart, and to bring home those who have lost their way.” The ways of St. Francis are the Ways of Love. He tamed the fiercest of wolves by his love for it.
