Below are a few cherished poems and prayers...
Hildegard of Bingen, the 12th-century Christian mystic, refers to the greening love. She is referring to hope that arises when we have been able to touch the divine when she writes:
“Those who breathe this dew
yearn for heavenly things.
They carry within, refreshing, fulfilling, greening love,
With which they hasten to the aid of those in need. (Uhlein,1983 p.69)
This is a selection from the final discourse of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti. He is the founder of the Chisti Sufi Order. The Universalist Sufi order I have been associated with for the past 40 years is part of that lineage. This the final teaching he shared with his followers before in died in 1236 CE.
Love all and hate none.
Be overflowing with peace and joy,
and scatter them wherever you are
and wherever you go.
Be a blazing fire of truth,
be a beautiful blossom of love
and be a soothing balm of peace.
With your spiritual light,
dispel the darkness of ignorance;
dissolve the clouds of discord and war
and spread goodwill, peace, and harmony among the people.
