Blessing of the Wind and the Sails

O' Sacred Breath that moves across the vast and endless waters,

O' Holy Wind that whispers through the depths of our being,

Fill our sails and set our course upon the great and boundless sea.

 

We are ships upon the ocean of this world,

Drifting, searching, longing for direction.

The tides may pull, the storms may rage,

Yet the Wind of Divinity calls us forward.

 

O' Love that is both within and beyond,

Stir in us the courage to unfurl our sails…

To let Compassion, Kindness, Forgiveness, and Love

Become the Spirit that moves us, that fills us, that carries us.

 

May we not remain moored in fear, nor anchored in sorrow,

But find the sacred rhythm of surrender and trust.

May we remember that the Spirit is not separate from us,

But woven into the very fabric of our being.

 

O' Wind that is Eternal, O Sails that are Divine,

Bless us with the grace to move where Love calls,

To dance with the waves of wonder and uncertainty,

To chart a course not by fear, but by the radiance of the unseen.

 

And when we are weary, when our sails fall slack,

May we turn again to the Wind…

And know that we are never abandoned,

For the breath of God is always within us.

 

Blessed be the journey.

Blessed be the Wind.

Blessed be the Sails.

Blessed be the Love that carries us Home.

Amen.
