A Weight Lifted

Rev. Marta Schwartz

Recently, I have had two incidents that I cannot fully explain without the help of Holy Spirit. The first happened while I was working. I am a massage therapist. While I was in session with a client, I kept experiencing a troubling thought pattern. This went on for several minutes and became very distracting to me.

I mentally asked Holy Spirit to help me. Holy Spirit immediately told me to say the Our Father and Hail Mary. Growing up Catholic, I am very familiar with these prayers. I mentally prayed one after another.

In less than a minute, I got the visual of two flying beings leaving me. The vision was a bit startling, but peace was restored to my heart and to this day, I cannot recall the thoughts that were troubling me. It worked that well.

The second incident happened even more recently. A student and friend of mine asked me to perform a house blessing in her newly built home. She practices Hinduism and wanted an invocation to three goddesses, Lakshmi, Saraswati and Durga. I have studied Hinduism but do not practice it. For clarification purposes, there is only one Supreme Being in Hinduism but aspects of the Supreme Being manifests in other deities.

I really wanted to do the house blessings and I knew that Holy Spirit would help. I researched the qualities of these deities, came up with an appropriate invocation and a few days later set out to do the house blessing.

It was a beautiful evening. There were eight people in attendance. After purifying everyone with sage and lavender, we sang a gratitude song taught to me by a local shaman. To represent the three goddesses and their properties of love, health, wisdom, abundance and protection, I added a drop of corresponding essential oils in the blessing water. We went through the entire house playing drums, bells and tambourines. Everyone was really participating in the ceremony.

After the whole house was blessed, we came back to our starting point, gave thanks and closed the ritual by throwing pennies and making wishes in her very elaborate fountain which sits in the foyer.

After sharing food and socializing, my husband and I left in a very good mood. Even though it was getting very late, we felt energized and relaxed. The following week I continued to feel energized as well as blessed by the goddesses I had invoked. I felt very happy, in great health, money flowed easily, new friendships formed and new clientele scheduled appointments with me.

My point to all of this is that Divine Grace is limitless. God shows Love in so many ways and with so many forms and symbols, depending on what would make the greatest impact in our hearts. It really showed me not to box God in by trying to define the One who really cannot be defined. To be open to all ways and allow, through Holy Spirit, Love to enter in and show us what true magic and miracles are all about. Thank You, God.
