Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Illuminated Christian Tradition: feel the presence of Mary and Jesus as you bring devotion and sacredness into your daily life. If you have been raised in the Christian tradition, Catholic or Protestant and have left for a time feeling you can't align with some of the I'm going to call 'political' structures of the church, I want you to know that those structures were man made, not directed from the Divine. From early childhood I had mystic experiences with Lord Jesus who I would enjoy company I would enjoy both conversation and companionship. I was always at church doing something as a girl and was part of the Jesus moment winning souls for Christ as a teenager. I was a youth minister, leading services going to nursing homes from very early on administering to and helping the sick and in need. Something happen I could not have imagined at age 24 sick with terminal cancer, leaving an abusive marriage, I was asked to leave my church. It was definitely a shunning experience. I was going against the group mindset by leaving my marriage, and my ex-husband's family had founded the church 130 year prior. It was devastating. My heart and life were there in service to God, partnered with Lord Jesus and now, my comfortable home was no more. I cried to tears of loss, having lost my church, my children and my voice (the cancer operations had paralyzed my vocal chords). Slowly I began to recover myself. I traveled to India on a holy pilgrimage studying with the Brahman priest learning the ancient sound healing techniques with Vedic and Sanskrit mantra, studied with the Native Americans, Gnostic's and Essences. I even studied with the Mormons. In my pain, I was asking who am I without my church, who am I without my Identity? What am I to do with all I know and all the love i have for humanity. In my 20's I came across a Christian mystic Carol Parrish who had created a lovely Rosary she called the mystic rosary. It was the first Christian rosary I had said, and began using it as a practice. My grandmother Grace Gable had prayed the Catholic Rosary her entire life sleeping with her rosary beads under her pillow. I felt guided to create a rosary filled with light love and a sense of belonging. To have a rosary I could pray that would connect me with Divine Mother Mary in the most beautiful way, and so I begin to work towards a rosary that would help me make sense on my world and feel my life and the journey made total sense. And of course it did. I was meant to live a Christ like life, not necessarily a Christian life. There are studies of the 18 lost years of Christ and it is believed that Jesus studied in Egypt with the Essences and Gnostic's as well as in India with the Brahmans and Europe too. I had done this, broken with group mind and moved out to learn and grow and become more than my DNA and religious heritage had initially designed for me. In this Prayer guide, you'll find beautifully presented in these easy to recited book, 3 sets of prayers revealing 15 mysteries - Joyful Mysteries - Challenging Mysteries - Glorious Mysteries ...can be said with rosary beads or just recited with devotion. Whatever your journey has been along your path of spiritual seeking these prayers are meant for everyone. This is a perfect pairing with the prayer book as a gift set for yourself or a loved one.

Download or read book Stations of the Light written by Mary Ford-Grabowsky and published by Image. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book to introduce the fourteen joyful and highly symbolic events that make up the Via Lucis, the Christian Way of Light, an ancient spiritual tradition celebrating the post-Resurrection life of Christ on Earth. The Stations of the Light, with its “good news” of healing and salvation, is becoming an increasingly popular devotion throughout the United States and the world, and was recognized by the Vatican in its Jubilee 2000 campaign. While Christians of all denominations are familiar with the Stations of the Cross, few know how to celebrate the Stations of the Light, a practice that came into being through inspiration from ancient Roman sources. Stations of the Light is a clear and inspiring guide to making this ancient ritual part of contemporary Christian life. The stations mark the fourteen sacred events in the post-Easter story, from “Jesus Rises from the Dead” to “Pentecost: The Risen Lord Sends the Holy Spirit.” For each one, Mary Ford-Grabowsky presents a variety of spiritual practices that invite readers to form their own realistic and sacred image of the event. Beginning with relaxation and releasing the imagination, these exercises are designed to help convey the story and foster inspiration, and include ancient and contemporary meditations, reflections, and prayers; as well as journal writing, artwork, music, and mantras.

Download or read book Allegories of Telling written by Lynn Wells and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-11-22 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Allegories of Telling: Self-Referential Narrative in Contemporary British Fiction has as its founding premise Ross Chambers’s notion that “one of the important powers of fiction is its power to theorize the act of storytelling in and through the act of storytelling.” In this critical study, Lynn Wells presents detailed readings of novels by five prominent British authors – John Fowles, Angela Carter, Graham Swift, A.S. Byatt and Salman Rushdie – with an emphasis on how the texts' self-referential aspects illuminate the acts of reading and writing fiction in contemporary Britain and, by extension, around the world. The book begins by situating contemporary British fiction historically as the product of an “aesthetics of compromise” arising from the “realism versus experimentalism” debate that consumed the English literary establishment during the 1960s. In her discussion of the texts, Lynn Wells then draws on a wide range of theoretical approaches, from narrative and psychoanalytic theory to existentialist philosophy and the historiographic ideas of thinkers such as Walter Benjamin, Michel Foucault and Giambattista Vico. These original readings challenge superficial “postmodern” interpretations of contemporary British fiction as pessimistically anti-historical, and reassert the value of readerly engagement and narrative reconstruction of the past.
