Virgo 3: Two angels bringing protection

"Two angels bringing protection" 3 Virgo

 

This symbol is illuminated 9:07 AM EDT Aug. 25 (1:07 PM GMT, Aug. 25)

 

Theme: Echo.

 

Inspiration: 'Angel' is the name for the silence that echos in our deepest chambers of prayer.

 

Today: It is possible that a sense of deep frustration, even of despair, may manifest for many today.

 

It is as if, in the darkest moments of solitude, our prayers ring hollow, receive no answer. And while we congratulate those whose angel appears with a name blazoned as if upon a Green Bay Packer jersey, for most the answer to prayer lies in a silence immersed in the uncertainty of becoming.

 

If silence is all that emerges when in prayer, does that mean you have received no answer? Perhaps silence, echoing emptiness, is in fact the answer… silence immersed in the divine. 

 

Or, to paraphrase Soren Kierkegaard, palpable silence held fast in the passionate grasp of subjective inwardness.

 

Suggestion: do not be in haste to paint the walls of your own prayer chambers with despair. Your inwardness is a process of choosing. Human character is formed on the ground of openness, passionate and sustained by the receptivity that does not fill in the empty space with a foolish answer.
