St. Francis of Assisi October 4 ~~~ Blessing of the Animals
Today, October 4th, is a day across the world where people take their pets to be blessed.
For single householders, a pet can be a true companion. Many people arrive home from work to find a furry friend overjoyed at their return. Many a senior has a lap filled with a purring fellow creature.
The bond between person and pet is like no other relationship, because the communication between fellow creatures is at its most basic. Eye-to-eye, a man and his dog, or a woman and her cat, are two creatures of love.
October 4th is the anniverary of the death of St Francis of Assisi. And on this day, he is remembered by many members of his order by accepting animals into their church to be blessed.
Click here to find a pet blessing happening in your area.
If you cant find a place in your neighborhood, you can use one of these prayers below to bless your pet yourself 😉 Dont forget, Mambo Sam has blessed her own holy water that you can use with your pet blessing, or also some Samantha's Spiritual Annointing oil would be good as well.
Also, please feel free to send in a prayer request for your pet to my personal prayer list for pets. Email your request to prayforpets@spellmaker.com

Here are some prayers for all animals:
Blessed are you, Lord God,
maker of all living creatures.
On the fifth and sixth days of creation,
you called forth fish in the sea,
birds in the air and animals on the land.
You inspired St. Francis to call all animals
his brothers and sisters.
We ask you to bless this animal.
By the power of your love,
enable it to live according to your plan.
May we always praise you
for all your beauty in creation.
Blessed are you, Lord our God, in all your creatures! Amen.For a sick animal:
Heavenly Father,
you created all things for your glory
and made us stewards of this creature.
If it is your will, restore it to health and strength.
Blessed are you, Lord God,
and holy is your name for ever and ever. Amen.

We Shall Overcome
Hi there!
This is one of my favorite songs. Full of strength, courage and determination. Very much like Ogoun! To me it has always seemed like singing a prayer 🙂 It is one of the songs that is always on my ipod. I was reading a little about the history of this song, and I found it very interesting. An old folk song, "We'll Overcome Someday" was written as a hymn in 1901 by Rev. Charles Tindley, of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. In the 1950's the song was sung on picket lines of striking tobacco union workers across the South. Shortly thereafter, the first recorded version was heard, under the name "We Will Overcome" and was still considered a Spiritual song. The song was also popular during the civil rights movement, having been incorportated into Dr Martin Luther King Jr's last speech. Robert F. Kennedy sang the song while touring South Africa speaking to anti-apartheid crowds in 1966. There are many more stories of this song being sung in times when strength and determination was needed. These are just a few. Now, this song is sung in many contries, and in many different languages. My favorite version is Springsteen's, which he sung at the benefit following the earthquakes in Haiti.
We Shall Overcome
We shall overcome
We shall overcome
We shall overcome some dayDarling, here in my heart
I do believe
We shall overcome some dayWe'll walk hand in hand
We'll walk hand in hand
We'll walk hand in hand some dayDarling, here in my heart
I do believe
We'll walk hand in hand some dayHere we are not afraid
We are not afraid
We shall overcome some dayDarling, here in my heart
I do believe
We shall overcome some dayDarling, here in my heart
I do believe
We shall overcome some dayHere we shall overcome some day.

Have patience with all things, but chiefly have patience with yourself. Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections but instantly set about remedying them — every day begin the task anew.

Discover You!
The You of You
There is a power within you that is greater than the world. If you let it, it will sustain you, expand you, and fill you with joy.
This power is closer than hands and feet; it is nearer and dearer to you than your own breath.
It is invisible, silent, and immeasurable.
All names for it are vague. All descriptions of it are inaccurate.
It transcends everything you can possibly know about it.
In the following lines, Ralph Waldo Emerson, the essayist and poet, who lived in the 1800s referred to it as instinct:
"All our progress is an unfolding, like a vegetable bud. You have first an instinct, then an opinion, then a knowledge as the plant has root, bud, and fruit. Trust the instinct to the end, though you can render no reason."
Today, we would probably translate "instinct" to mean "intuition" or "awareness."
Our basic helplessness in trying to describe it is because it is not a thing, an object, either abstract or concrete, that can be classified. Instead, it is a transcendent, extraordinary experience that expresses itself in an ordinary way. It subtle nature escapes language.
The power within you that can be spoken of is not the power that exists; for like the wind, it cannot be caught; and like the ocean, it can never be grasped.
It is not the mind, but beyond the mind.
This awareness that is you, this sentient understanding, this all encompassing consciousness, it is magnificence itself.
And the sweetest thing about this understanding, is that it is the you of you, the immensity of you.
There is nothing more intimate, nothing more reassuring, and nothing more exhilarating than this inner presence.
Civilizations may come and go, you may trade one body after another, and yet this essence of you, this pure energetic consciousness, will only continue to expand in its awareness.
When confronted with the lie of the world, it is truth; when intimidated by misfortune and adversity, it is strength; and when impoverished by lack, it is abundance.
You are the quintessence of power and beauty and truth; for who you are is this power that never sleeps, this awareness that never ceases, this brilliance that never dims.
You are the light of the world, an emanation of pure energy, unrestricted consciousness wrapped in layers of skin and bones, illusions and misconceptions.
When you finally understand who you are, really are inside, there can be only one possible response: a spontaneous burst of happiness that has no limits.
You are the unbounded potentiality, and who you think you are is not even close to who you really are inside.
The purpose of life is simply this: to discover the you of you.
