A beautiful kirtan by Mayapuri devotees in Detroit

Mayapur Kirtan In Detroit

A beautiful day with my friend Patricia at the St. Joseph Parish in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio celebrating Diving Mercy Sunday. This prayer was channeled by St. Faustina Kowalska. 

On September 13, 1935, while Faustina was in Vilnius, she wrote of a vision of Jesus about the chaplet in her diary (Notebook 1 item 476).[8][9] Faustina stated that Jesus asked her to pray the chaplet and instruct others to do so. Although the chaplet is said on beads like the Rosary, it is about a third of the length of the Rosary, and unlike the Rosary that has evolved over the years, the form and structure of the chaplet has remained unchanged since Faustina attributed it to a message from Jesus.[9]

According to Faustina's visions, written in her diary, the chaplet's prayers for mercy are threefold: to obtain mercy, to trust in Christ's mercy, and to show mercy to others.[6][10][11] Faustina wrote that Jesus promised that all who recite this chaplet at the hour of death or in the presence of the dying will receive great mercy. She wrote that Jesus said:

"....When they say this Chaplet in the presence of the dying, I will stand between My Father and the dying not as the just judge but as the Merciful Savior."

A sweet song from the Community Sing at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Kent

Hard Times Come Again No More

This song was learned by my grandmother Edna Rae Ash Callahan, when she was a little girl going to the "crippled kids" school in ...... in the late 1930's. She had become lame in one leg because of polio and did a lot of singing and performance art storytelling at her school. She got to play the little gypsy girl and sing this song (Grandma Edna had olive skin and dark hair) and she taught it to my mother Maralee Mae Ash, who taught it to me. My mother's high school friend Jaqui came to visit, and we sang it together in harmony. It brought me back to my childhood, and made me feel at home.

At our annual Unitarian Universalist Church of Kent outdoor service, saying goodbye to the Summer, and hello to the Autumn. Appreciating one another in the cathedral of the trees.

Look Around, Notice the Moment

At our annual Unitarian Universalist Church of Kent outdoor service, saying goodbye to the Summer, and hello to the Autumn. This song finished our sharing our sorrows and joys, and standing witness to one another. Pouring water from our lives into the water of the community, sharing the earth from our homes with the dirt and milestones of our friends. Mingling together, supporting each other, and inspiring hope and joy!

Courage, My Friend

We found an old children's book at Loic's house about the saintly Prince Prahlad. He spontaneously started reading it aloud at the party, and because we all have theatrical natures, a beautiful, playful enjoyment of the transcendental pastime was born! Jaya Lord Narasimhadev!
