Practicing Holy Communion

Rev. Mary Louise Ruffner

Every one of us is endowed with an innate power that is nearer than the breath we breathe. This Power is the Presence that always hears and always answers. The nature of this Holy One, residing at the center of our being, is described in the Bible as saying, “Before they call I will answer; while they are still speaking I will hear.”

 The great “I AM within us responds to the slightest impression of our thoughts, feelings, and beliefs, whether the impulse is to raise our head when we need to look up; to open our hands to receive gifts being offered, or to gently close our eyes as we enter into prayer and meditation. This Cosmic One is the Instinctive Presence within the tiniest insect that causes it to flee when its good is in danger. There is never a delay in the One Spirit that leads, guides, and directs us moment by moment regarding what to do, and how to do what needs to be done. Yes, there is always silent communication taking place between the self and the Self. Yes, “… the highest God and the innermost God is one God.

It is the moment that the two aspects of our Being agree that we experience a spontaneous realization of the soul’s sincere desires. The key is to rise above the illusion of separation by letting go of the false beliefs of duality, sickness, and poverty, causing fear and anxiety. This takes practice, practice, practice! Open up to receive the gifts of Peace. Harmony, Love, Joy, Abundance, Wisdom, and Wholeness, etc. This takes practice, practice, practice! With this keen desire to be conscious of your oneness with The One, enter the silence of your Self, and simply listen to the stillness.

Yes, the key to effective prayer is creative communication. Listening to the Divine, then speaking the Truth you hear in everything you think, say, and do. This practice becomes the activity of “… praying without ceasing.

Begin today claiming perfect health, unlimited supply, fulfilling relationships, and creative self-expression, infused with the nature of the Divine, as your natural state of being. You may soon hear your heart sing: “How precious did that grace appear, the hour I first believed.
