You may be wondering at the end of this week’s message, “Did Rev. Steve make it home on that Sunday that Mary references?” Yes! We left the hospital that day, headed home and grateful for the miracle of healing!
This message is about forgiveness which has rightly been called the “key to happiness.” True forgiveness means looking past appearances to the Essence of who we all are. When we do, we remember our strength and we release the images of our false self and that of others. When we do forgive, we find peace and unconditional love.
With all that is happening in the world today, that love and deep peace, that light which Jesus described in Matthew 5: 14-16, is needed more than anytime we can recall. Centered in Divine Love, the Light we are fashioned of by our Creator, we serve as blessings to others more profoundly than we may ever know.
From A Course in Miracles, “God is the love in which I forgive.” When we are willing to forgive ourselves and others, the Universe moves on our behalf, our hearts open, healing begins anew and we move toward Home!
We love you,
Rev. Steve and Mary
In our message, Mary Bolen reads from the Daily Word for Wednesday, April 20, 1927. Below is the copy for that day’s Daily Word…
Today’s dynamic declaration: Spiritual Faith springs into my consciousness and I am made whole and perfect.
This statement is the Silent Unity healing word to be used from April 20 to May 20.
I have faith in spiritual things: life, love, and truth. My consciousness is vibrant with the deep things of faith. I have faith right now my mind and my body are becoming spiritualized.
My faith is spiritual because it is established in Spirit. My consciousness is built upon the very substance of faith. The faith which springs into my consciousness causes me to believe that only the good can be true in my life.
I am free from disbelief in good. My faith makes me whole and well. My faith centered upon God, my life, causes me to lay hold of life and health.
I am whole and well in every part. Not a trace of weakness or disease can remain in my body. Through faith I lay hold of innate perfection.
The presence of Christ restores me to harmony and health. Christ, the truth, has freed me from every form of disease. Christ, the truth, unburdens my mind and my body and I am entirely free.
I abide in the faith which removes mountains. I live in the faith which is the substance of all that I desire.
“Thy faith hath made thee whole.” – Matthew 9:22
Such a perfect reminder and message. And a very practical take away for me to practice. I love it and y’all😘🤗
Thank you from my whole heart for your message today! I can’t tell you how much it means to hear your message from Portugal. Braga has an ancient and beautiful Catholic church on every corner and I have moments of peace when walking around them. We even went to a beautiful service in the big Cathedral with an amazing ancient organ! The priest may have delivered a wonderful message but we will never know because it was in Portuguese! I’ve so missed deeply meaningful messages that speak to my heart as yours do. Church. Somehow reading the messages in a book is not quite the same. Our little Spirit Circle offers the personal connection of Church but hearing you speak provides the Church I am missing! And the message today was exactly what I needed. I have cried many tears over Ukraine this week. My heart breaks for them so much!! Thanks for understanding and speaking to that.
You know what else I love about these 2 messages you’ve shared? Unlike hearing them from the stage, when I miss something because I’m busy processing something you said, all I have to do is back it up! Can’t do that sitting in a pew!!
Thank you, thank you, I love you!
❤️
Mary
