Day Nine

A puja is a ritual dedicated to the worship of one's personal deity.

As in all ritual there is a certain set of actions;

each one designed with a particular focus and effect

in mind.  In these Thirty Days with Mary we

are devoting our focus, intent, emotion,senses,

passion and vision to evoke our

spiritual selves and to connect with our

own divinity.

Through repeated entry into the spiritual realms

we shed the perceptions and projections of the mind

and access a wider vision, a deeper connectedness to

all of life and  transpersonal wisdom.

In preparation of the puja I am sharing the following prayer with you.
You can incorporate it into today's practise and you may want
to memorize it for the puja to Holy Mary.

Tomorrow I will share the puja with you.   

Please gather fresh flowers, incense or a smudging stick,

a bell, or a drum or a music instrument,

a glass of water and something to eat which you can

place on the altar.

VI of Holy Rood

Hail Queen of Heaven

Hail! Lady of the Angels

Salutation to Three, root and portal

Whence the Light of the world has arisen

Hail Mary 

Ave Maria

I am the maiden of the joy

I am song in the wind and rain upon the rocks.

I am fair love and holy hope

and the flight of the dove.

I am earth, betrothed

I am Mystical Rose.

Hail Mary

Ave Maria

I am the Mother of mystery

I hold opposites together

I birth children and sever the cord with my teeth

Those I love I send away to their lives

I am the cauldron of fire and the cup of milk

I am the two-edged sword

Hail Mary

Ave Maria

In me Sophia speak :

I am the marriage of opposites

I am beauty,

right order in creation,

the balance of all being.

I contain all the secrets whose names are beads,

I am the cosmic necklace.

I am the daughter of silence and

I bring forth the word of truth.

I am the serpent and the dove.

I am the soul of the Christ

Hail Mary

Ave Maria

I am the flour and I am the hands

that kneed the dough.

I am the fire and the loaf.

I offer and I am offered.

I eat and am eaten.

I am food for the world and

I am the world.

Hail Mary

Ave Maria

Hail Queen of Heaven,

Hail! Lady of the Angels

Salutation to Thee, root and portal

Whence the Light of the world has arisen

Hail Mary

Ave Maria

We continue with the Immaculate Practise for the full thirty days.

The discipline of a daily repetitive spiritual practise

contains the mind and frees the soul to explore the other realms

of Divine Love and Wisdom
