No Magic Monday This Week Either

[ecosophia]

I'm sorry to cancel the usual question and answer session a second time, but there it is. As I think most of my readers know at this point, my wife Sara is dying; she's been in failing health for a long time, and at this point things are winding up fairly rapidly and I can spare neither the time nor the concentration for the usual flurry of questions. Thank you all for your patience and support, and I'll look forward to an extra lively discussion sometime soon. -- JMG

You are both still in my thoughts and prayers, JMG. I also thank you both for showing me beautiful music and the ways of the occultist even in the toughest moments of life.

Ecosophia Prayer List

[tunesmyth]

Here are all of the requests for prayer that have recently appeared at ecosophia.net and ecosophia.dreamwidth.org, as well as in the comments of the prayer list posts. Please feel free to add any or all of the requests to your own prayers.

If I missed anybody, or if you would like to add a prayer request for yourself or anyone who has given you consent (or for whom a relevant person holds power of consent) to the list, please feel free to leave a comment over at the prayer list.

This week I would like to bring special attention to the following prayer requests.

May JMG's wife Sara Greer, who is dying, make an easy transition into death and be blessed as she moves into the next stage of her spirit's journey. And may John Michael Greer be blessed and soothed, and lent strength in this most difficult time.

May Timmy W. have the guidance, support, and strength he needs to overcome his PTSD, and may his mother, Rachel M., have the energy and wisdom to support him through it.

May Erika's partner James remain cancer free, and make a full return to robust health.

Tyler A's wife Monika's pregnancy is high risk; may Mother and child be blessed with good health and a smooth delivery.

May the surgery for Yuccaglauca's mother Monica's malignant mass be safe, successful, and conclusive of the matter.

May Frank Rudolf Hartman of Altadena California (picture), who is receiving chemotherapy, be completely cured of the lymphoma that is afflicting him, and may he return to full health.

May Audrey's nephew Jon, who is now in a wheelchair due to ALS, have peace and comfort during this difficult time, and be healed of his condition to the greatest degree possible.

May Just Another Green Rage Monster's father, who is dealing with Stage 4 Lymphoma, and mother, who is primary caregiver, be blessed, protected and healed.

May Kyle's friend Amanda, who though in her early thirties is undergoing various difficult treatments for brain cancer, make a full recovery; and may her body and spirit heal with grace.

Lp9's hometown, East Palestine, Ohio, for the safety and welfare of their people, animals and all living beings in and around East Palestine, and to improve the natural environment there to the benefit of all.

Guidelines for how long prayer requests stay on the list, how to word requests, how to be added to the weekly email list, how to improve the chances of your prayer being answered, and several other common questions and issues, are to be found at the Ecosophia Prayer List FAQ.

If there are any among you who might wish to join me in a bit of astrological timing, I pray each week for the health of all those with health problems on the list on the astrological hour of the Sun on Sundays, bearing in mind the Sun's rulerships of heart, brain, and vital energies. If this appeals to you, I invite you to join me.

Is it okay to continue to pray, for both of you?

Please and thank you.

Are you coping?

[miow]

How are you holding up? Can we continue to pray for you? Sending love to your wife.

Re: Are you coping?

[ecosophia]

Thanks for asking! I'm doing about as well as can be expected. I've expected something like this to happen for a good long time, and it's been weeks now since it became clear where it was heading; it also helps that I used to work in nursing homes many years ago, so death isn't unfamiliar to me and I know how to care for a dying person. I've done a lot of crying and a lot of processing, and I won't say it's easy but it's gotten easier.

And yes, I'd welcome prayers.

[lukedodson]

As always, my prayers are with you if they are welcomed.

Condolences

Heartfelt sympathy from Sweden. I was not aware of this. No words will ever be enough for such matters but wish the both of you strength and hope.

Dear Mr Greer, you and your wife are in my thoughts and prayers

Offering Blessings and Prayers

[iprescott]

Hi JMG,

I will continue to offer my blessings and prayers, if you and Sara will still have them. I pray that you have strength in this time of need and are able to cope with this major transition in your life. I pray that Sara passes peacefully and has a blissful transition into her next energetic existence.

I wish you peace.

I am still praying for you both.

[scottyc]

JMG,

It is a small thing to miss a few Magic Mondays during this difficult time. There is such a wealth of Magic Monday material to explore in the meantime. I'm grateful for all the work you have made available.

My prayers for Sara and for you.

[tamanous2020]

I will keep you and your wife in my prayers JMG. My utmost sympathies.

Our condolences

[fragilecity]

I pray for Sara and you, John, in these difficult times.
Take all the time you need, we will still be here to read your future posts.

[illyria2001]

Praying for both of you.

[(Anonymous)]

I continue to pray for you and Sara, JMG.

You are both such an inspiration. All of us will face what you face now, in one form or another. It is harrowing.

Thank you for your grace under tremendous pressure.

May you both be richly blessed.

In the end we will all be together across the rainbow bridge. I will pray for your wife not to suffer and for her to be at peace and for strength for you during this difficult time.

i don't know if it counts as a prayer, but you're in my thoughts sometimes, john. time wounds all heels, as they say, or something similar.

You and Sara both remain in my prayers. I pray that Sara's transition is a peaceful one, and I pray that you will experience comfort and healing as you grieve this terrible loss.
