No Magic Monday This Week Either

temporarily closedI'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

[personal profile] tunesmyth 2024-02-19 06:46 am (UTC)(link)
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?

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.

Offering Blessings and Prayers

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.

Gods bless you and your wife for the immeasurable good that you have done in creating this space, writing your books, answering our questions, and for generally being a top chap. I sincerely pray that the good that you have done is repaid to you in blessings and peace seven times over.

All the best,

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.

[personal profile] tamanous2020 2024-02-19 05:28 pm (UTC)(link)
I will keep you and your wife in my prayers JMG. My utmost sympathies.

Our condolences

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.

So sorry to hear this news. Will include Sara and you in my daily devotions.

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.
