Heaven Hear Us

Posted by David Dephy | Nov 11, 2024 | Poetry | 0 |

Heaven Hear Us

You still hear the falling bombs
our Father in Heaven, to You do we sing
blessed and banished children of dust,
please rejoice with us, we love our enemies,
as we never loved them before, and still,
they are killing us, as they did before.
To you do we cry Mary, Mother of God,
please be a mother to us all now,
as we flit between the faded shadows
in our last afternoon.

The Braided Way

The Braided Way is a framework to see every faith tradition as a strand, braided into a larger whole of spiritual awareness. In the Braided Way, combining spiritual practice from various faiths allow us to explore sacred experience and wonder in forms that resonate with our personal spiritual needs and sacred intuitions. In today’s culture, many people shun religious dogma, but yearn for spiritual connection. The Braided Way allows the ceremonies and practices of multiple faiths to be available without the confinements of cultural dogma.
