Taking It to the Streets

by Rev. Mary Daw

At Pathways of Light in Kiel I was part of one amazing ordination where all eleven students were so loved and nurtured by three of the most awesome facilitators, till we began to heal and became more loving and became nurturers to each other. It felt like my whole self was being made complete.

Upon returning to Texas I began to experience some resistance on following the type of ministry He has called me to do, and so I was having trouble making the adjustment here at home. I began isolating, crying and not responding to my emails, not returning letters. Yet I was extending love to those who were placed in my path.

Myron suggested that we do an Accessing Inner Wisdom Counseling. Well you know how that went. It was a suggestion and I chose not to. Then things got worse for me. Myron offered again, and this I heard her when she said, “Mary, no one needs to be that miserable.” My response was, “Thanks for pointing that out.” So we finally did the Accessing Inner Wisdom Counseling.

It brought me right back to my issues with religion and how that would look in my ministry, and my resistance to the Holy Spirit’s message that He has called me to minister out in the streets. I was afraid He wanted me to preach to my brothers and do revivals. I didn’t want to do that. This is religion as I’ve known it in the past, and the only kind of street ministry I have ever seen, and I didn’t want any part of it.

In the Accessing inner Wisdom Counseling, the Holy Spirit comforted me and let me know that He was so okay with where I was with religion and if I would never step into a religious church again while I am having a human experience, He let me know He would not change His Mind about me or His Love for me. The Holy Spirit let me know that the Call He has spoken into my heart and soul is to extend His Love to the hearts and souls of my brothers in the streets, the ones who feel so separate and alone.

Okay, you would think I would have surrendered by now. Not. There was still resistance. The ego kicked in and said, “What would your people think?” That’s where the ego used the wrong weapon, yet at the right time. It did bring up a fear that I needed to give up. “Holy Spirit, as I go out to the streets, please keep my friends and family safe.”

He said, “Mary I have placed angels in front of you in body form. I called all you together in Kiel to join Me in oneness. To bless each one’s journey. Mary, each one has a vital role in My calling you to the streets. Each one will be right with you on your journey. Love, before you enter the streets, invite Me and your angels to come along and we will. This is the sure way of not running on ego. Together in oneness with Me and your brothers we will accomplish extending true Love. That is your only purpose.”

“So Holy Spirit, what about this communion stuff that you are talking about? Man, I don’t know how to give communion.”

“That is why I chose you, so that I can do it through you. Communion is the symbol of the joining of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Whose union only seemed broken by the belief in separation. As you use communion in the streets as a symbol to help everyone accept their innate holiness, you will internalize the holiness in you and the holiness of your brothers in the street. Remember I am here always. Mary, all that I Am, you are. Your body Your body will only serve as a communication device for your brother to hear the truth about their innate innocence through you.”

So to all my angels, I am taking ACIM to the streets. My commitment:

• I will always invite the Holy Spirit and you, my angels, along.

• I will give out a Love Kit titled, “Love in the Nick of Time.” The “Love Kit” includes a zip lock bag with the booklet, Introduction to A Course in Miracles, and I Remember Who I am laminated bookmark, and contact numbers. I welcome any other suggestions.

• I will have fresh communion bread, juice and keep my brass set clean and sterile.

• And most important, I will extend only Love.

When communion is being given, i will step back and know that Holy Spirit is giving it.

I am buying the books from Pathways as I can afford them. If anyone feels guided to support this ministry of the street, please send donations for the Introduction to ACIM booklets to Pathways and just say what it is for.
