A Blessing of Angels
May the Angels in their beauty bless you.
May the Angel of Awakening stir your heart
May the Angel of Healing turn your wounds into
May the Angel of Compassion open your eyes
May the Angel of Wildness disturb the places
May the Angel of Justice disturb you to take
May the Angel of Encouragement confirm you in worth and self-respect,
that you may live with the dignity that presides in your soul.
May all the Angels be your sheltering and joyful guardians.
John O’Donohue
May they turn toward you streams of blessing.
to come alive to the eternal within you,
to all the invitations that quietly surround you.
sources of refreshment.
May the Angel of the Imagination enable you to stand on the true thresholds,
at ease with your ambivalence and drawn in new directions
through the glow of your contradictions.
to the unseen suffering around you.
where your life is domesticated and safe,
take you to the territories of true otherness
where all that is awkward in you can fall into its own rhythm.
May the Angel of Eros introduce you to the beauty of your senses
to celebrate your inheritance as a temple of the holy spirit.
the side of the poor and the wronged.
May the Angel of Death arrive only when your life is complete
and you have brought every given gift to the threshold where its infinity can shine.
For Belonging
May you listen to your longing to be free.
May you find a harmony between your soul and your life.
May there be kindness in your gaze when you look within.
John O’Donohue
May the frames of your belonging be generous
enough for your dreams.
May you arise each day with a voice of blessing
whispering in your heart.
May the sanctuary of your soul never become haunted.
May you know the eternal longing that lives at the heart of time.
May you never place walls between the light and yourself.
May you allow the wild beauty of the invisible world to gather you,
mind you, and embrace you in belonging.
