Hanna strack – blessings for christmas

Light meditation in Advent

I light a candle, sit in front of it and look at it:

I take the light into myself

I let the light shine in me

In my heart

In my tummy

In all my limbs

I carry the light out into the world

That it shines on people!

Christmas blessings

The wounds of the lonely

The horror of the addicts before the holidays

The night shift in telephone counseling

The alcoholics in the clinics

The overwhelming housewives

The youth that has outgrown all

The non-families at the family festival

Give them the Christmas spirit

Christ’s birth be to them: DON’T

The blessing of the stars

We look into the star tent

and marvel at its vastness.

God’s blessing flows through all of creation.

We look into the star tent

and feel the longing for instructions.

God’s blessing flows through our hearts and senses.

We look at Christ, the morning star,

and let us guide him.

God’s blessing flows through us with joy at this star.

God’s blessings keep this joy flowing

to all who yearn for her.

Blessings to the Shepherd People

We are blessed –

like the shepherd women and men,

we leave the old behind

and open us up to the light!

We are blessed –

like the shepherd families,

we hear the call of the angel:

Do not be afraid!

Blessed are we

like the shepherd people,

that we pass on to God’s great love

all people in our country!

We are blessed

through Jesus Christ our Savior.

Blessings on Christmas Eve

Maria found the hostel in the stable

and gave birth to her son there

in simple room,

in deep silence,

filled with radiant light.

Christmas

Maria was calm

There was no hustle and bustle in the barn

Josef was outside

the child was born

lay in the crib

A legend from the Gospel of James, which was no longer included in the New Testament, but which has survived and is related to the so-called Apocrypha, i.e. heard hidden scriptures, reports that Joseph was looking for two midwives.

God bless the hostel for Christmas

God bless us all,

we long for the hostel.

on our lifelong quest.

We find home in you!

God, welcome us,

when we enter your hostel.

You nourish us with your word!

God, open our hearts,

that we open our own doors.

We want to be a hostel for others.

So bless us, God,

longing for home

and in the giving of hostels.

Because there is food and warmth and light!

Blessings of the divine child

Jesus, the divine child,

that Maria gave birth to in the stable,

may bless us

with the light that illuminates the night of the future!

Jesus, the divine child,

that in ours Heart is born,

may bless us

with the warmth that our body

and our soul heals!

Jesus, the divine child,

that awakens in us every morning,

filled with peace! Amen

Blessing of light

If you walk in the dark

and bumps your foot against a stone,

may the light illuminate your way!

You are blessed Maria!

You’re a woman,

you’re pregnant

You will give birth to a child!

You are blessed,

Child in the womb!

Christmas Blessing

God bless you and keep you!

God let his light shine on you and warm you up!

God give His light to your hearts

And make you human!

God give you peace in families and on the streets! Amen

Christmas Blessing

We sing the song:

Open up and become light!

We hold a candle in our left hand,

we move the right, the left hand to the side,

then we both stretch up and

then both take us to heart.

Now one person speaks:

God bless you and keep you,

God let his light shine on you

and warm you up.

God give His light to your hearts

and in your families

and give you peace.

Easter Blessing

Through your might, God,

you have jesus cross

transformed into the tree of life.

By your might, God,

you turn our fear into confidence,

our paralysis in new courage.

So our life becomes a parable

for the resurrection from death to life.

Bless our tree of life,

so that the dead wood starts

To bud and bloom!

Pentecostal blessing

sends wisdom

to their daughters and sons.

The Fire inflamed

and the mind flashes.

chasing old foliage

through crumbling walls.

Blessings for new ways to God!
