Something Shifted

by Rev. Savina Cavallo, O.M.C.

I discovered A Course in Miracles in February of 2007 and since then I’ve been in several study groups, listened to teachers online, done the workbook lessons several times along with reading parts of the Text.

In 2014 I was ordained as a Pathways of Light minister. The teachings and principles of the Course have influenced me deeply and my trajectory on this path has been a healing one.

Still, I always felt I wasn’t as dedicated as I wanted to be nor as consistent in my daily practice of the principles and I wanted to experience more love, peace, joy and the good stuff that results from being on the path.

A few months ago, I enrolled in a transformational program based on the Course Text and Lessons. As I read and then did the daily practice, I slowly sensed something shifting inside of me.

A few weeks into the program, my husband and I had a very strong argument and I stayed angry at him for quite a few days. I just couldn’t let it go. Lesson 78 of the workbook, “Let miracles replace all grievances” was one of the weekly assignments I was to do right smack in the middle of my grievance. I knew this was not a coincidence, but Holy Spirit speaking directly to my heart.

It was time to heal the anger I was feeling. A specific portion of the lesson stood out to me and that’s what I took to practice… with my husband. It says, “We will select one person you have used as target for your grievances, and lay the grievances aside and look at him. Someone, perhaps, you fear and even hate; someone you think you love who angered you; someone you call a friend, but whom you see as difficult at times or hard to please, demanding, irritating or untrue to the ideal he should accept as his, according to the role you set for him.” (W-pI.78.4.4-5)

I chose my husband. I love him but he had angered me….and I was holding an ideal of him according to the role I had set for him.

I asked Holy Spirit to help me see him as he truly is. I practiced looking beyond the body and connect to his true being, the light within.

Then the anger lifted, and I felt so much closer and loving to my husband just by taking these deliberate steps and doing the lesson. All the anger just disappeared. 

As a result, my husband also was more loving towards me. We are now closer and more connected at a deeper level than ever before. I can honestly say that I am the happiest I’ve in my 63 years of life. These principles do work when we practice them consistently.
