Aloha,
I'm Reverend Cindy Palos and I wanted to share with you something that brings about the spirit of heaven merging with earth at a time when love conquers all.
And this is from my new book,
The Christmas Gift,
And also combining with it the album I did called Love Conquers All,
Which I will explain each song in parts,
Starting with Love Conquers All,
When Heaven Merges With Earth.
In the midst of the darkness,
In the time when people's hearts and souls cried out for help and for light,
A star shone so bright on a very holy night.
These days are also a time of challenges with everything we've gone through,
The COVID,
The wars,
So many problems economically and divisions happening in the world.
So many have been praying and asking the Lord for help and for guidance,
For peace on earth,
Goodwill to men.
There's a sort of echo of that time that happened so long ago,
2,
000 years ago,
That is still heard for heaven merged with earth,
And we are still bringing heaven to earth and merging with it here when we allow ourselves to feel that spirit of a love that conquers all.
Looking up at the stars before Christmas,
Words come to me daily,
And I write down messages.
November last year,
I started getting these messages about that love and the light of a star that brought about that energy of a love that could conquer all.
So with the help and inspiration of some very heavenly music to match the words that I received that came from Stephen Malillo,
We created the album Love Conquers All,
And it really was a beautiful experience of how the words and the music merged with the inspiration that was coming,
And it built every step of the way along the journey.
So what is this love that can conquer all?
It's God's love.
It's God's love merged with us bringing heaven to earth.
Just as Mary experienced that heaven of God's love and merged with it,
Became illuminated,
Became full of that light and that love that came to deliver that love to earth,
This perfect love that brought a light from the source of all and delivered us through to the Christ light,
A light of the highest that came from heaven to earth is still there within us.
And these words came to me.
Once on the darkest of nights,
A star shined oh so bright,
And that star still shines.
It shines within all of us,
And it brought forth the song Love Conquers All.
May our hearts be full of light,
Like that star that shined on that holy night,
For love conquers all.
It always brings us up if we call upon it.
It helps us rise with every fall.
The star that way did show so long ago,
Its eternal light is one we can still follow.
We need that light.
We need good will.
It's been such a hard few years.
It's time to release all of our fears for that moment when love can conquer all.
Love conquers all,
Even in the darkest times of all.
When a star led wandering souls to follow light's shining claw,
And love conquers all.
In this life we rise and fall,
But the light from that wondrous night gives us hope and a promise that love conquers all.
Let us light a candle and say a prayer that the miracles will appear.
With our faith we'll find stars sing songs divine and give us hearts to sing.
We are meant to be,
To be.
Love conquers all.
We are parts of that night because love conquers all.
Oh yes,
Love conquers all.
Bring that light into your life and share all the blessings joy and love and care.
In this moment I wonder,
Cause love conquers all.
Listen well to its call for the greatest gift of all.
It's love conquers all.
It conquers all.
There was a moment when the angel appeared to Mary.
Archangel Gabriel came with that Holy Spirit often seen as that dove of peace.
How wonderful is the messenger of the highest.
Such pure love and grace comes to transform us as it did Mary,
To bring about the blessing of the very highest,
To set the stage for the miracle that was to occur.
Hail Mary,
The Lord is with you.
On the album Love Conquers All,
There was this moment when Catherine Geach sang that piece about the angel coming to Mary.
And I wrote these words to go with the energy of the angel that appears.
Now we know that angels come to us in times of need when we pray.
There's also times that angels can appear and we can sense that they're near.
In this case,
God directed angel Gabriel to visit Mary,
To set the stage to bring that Holy Spirit through to her.
When the energy of the Holy Spirit merged with Mary,
It actually transformed her energy.
This was so she could be led to the angelic realms and be brought to the throne of God.
She experienced that light that is the ultimate infinite light,
The light of all from the source of all.
She experienced the love,
The unconditional love that is from the one source of all love.
She experienced God's light and love.
And as she experienced God's light and God's love,
She merged with it.
Angel of the Lord,
Be with me I pray.
Let your wings enfold me as I journey on the way.
Let me be your instrument and serve God as best I may.
Let the grace of Spirit be alive in me here today.
On this long,
Long path we're on,
We sometimes go astray.
Angel of the Lord,
Walk with me I pray.
When I'm lost in darkness,
Let your light shine oh so bright.
Let me see with clarity which way is wrong or right.
It's a long,
Long path we're on and sometimes we do go astray.
So Angel of the Lord,
Please guide us on the way.
Sweet Angel of the Lord,
Watch over me when I sleep.
Help me to awaken with the blessings of your presence and what it does to keep me.
I thank the gods and all the angels who serve so tirelessly,
Those blessed instruments of Spirit dedicated to those who seek.
On this long,
Long path we're on,
It's your staff on which we lean.
Angel of the Lord,
There are many forms you keep.
I thank you.
Oh,
Sweet angel for being here with me and bringing the words of Spirit that always to me speak.
This is part of the Christmas gift,
The story of the stars.
And this is the story of the blessed astronomer.
It's a mystical look,
A deeper journey into who the Magi were,
But at the same time that universal situation where we have our mind trying to understand and figure things out and seeking,
Meanwhile,
We experience something that is beyond our mind and it changes our life.
I did a piece on Love Conquers All called The Story of the Stars.
It has many levels of meaning.
It brings in the creation of the universe and the role the star of wonder played in the transformation of understanding.
The understanding that occurred with those learned astronomers,
Those Magi,
Those magicians who knew something was going on.
Looking up at the stars,
We always can feel a sense of wonder.
And sometimes if we're very quiet and open,
The stars will speak to us.
In this piece,
I write about the learned astronomer who knows how to figure out numbers and calculations and plot the destiny of the stars and the implications of that,
But at the same time realizes in a moment of illumination that there is so much more going on,
More than just the numbers and figures that can be figured out on paper.
The learned astronomer is also one of the elements of the masters,
The Magi,
As they become open to receive the messages of the stars and understand from the perception of God's illumination of how the universe and stars work in coordination with the planets and the earth.
There is that sacred moment when the mind steps back and the heart and soul take over.
This is a very special piece.
On the album,
Steve Malilla was able to express it beautifully as the plotting of the learned astronomer realizes that sometimes something incredible is going to happen and that the stars do speak.
They speak to us.
The stars speak.
What spark could light that star that shines from so far with blessings that reach me here in a universal language that appeals?
What creates those clouds across the sky,
Those thoughts that cross my mind,
Hide the light of those billions of stars and distract the presence of love divine?
Will I burn away the clouds with a breath and sweeps clear the mind that hides this grace divine?
I open my heart and ask,
Lord,
Please help me find the spark that lights her sacred energy.
In this gift of space and time,
The light of the stars dance to the music of this cosmic fire live in the universal mind.
We can wish upon those stars and see stars that Mary wears.
We can bring them down to earth and let that light through us appear.
What spark could light that star that shines from oh so far?
The blessings of a holy birth that once came here to earth.
We can listen to the stars and let them light the fire that lights our inner spark,
That gift that inspires our life.
Here we are in this miraculous time and space with dancing,
With the mystic fire,
The gift of love's great saving grace.
The cosmos hold reflected here in a mirror shining back as it's told through the filters of time and the many dimensions that carry the flight,
This existence in space and time.
But the eyes always show the truth that they hold,
That seek to be seen and known in life's precious hymns of love.
Such love,
Very precious love.
