Blessing of the Website
This website, online for the past two weeks, is a key path for sharing my ministry with the world. To honor and strengthen this path as I begin to journey on it, Helen and I hosted a celebration with dear friends at our house last night. The highlight was a ritual for blessing of the website. The ritual started with Helen reading the John O’Donohue poem “For a New Beginning” (verses below.) Indeed, this is a time of new beginning.
Then, with the website open and magnified on our TV screen, I brought up the key service pages (plus the Blog page) one by one. With each page, I first did a sage smudging to enhance the spiritual energy around that page, followed by a brief conversation around its content and goals. Then, the group offered this prayer: “Through [name of website page] may you serve others with kindness, wisdom, compassion, and love. And may they find peace, healing, meaning and joy.”
