Relying on the Graces of Pentecost: Wisdom

The Grace of Wisdom is linked to the pituitary gland and corresponds with the crown of the head.  Wisdom gives us the spiritual strength to accept the fact that life cannot be lived without pain, but that through suffering we learn to make wise choices.  When it is necessary for a cycle of new life to being, the old way must die.  The grace of wisdom expresses itself through compassion in the midst of this truth.  


Prayer: I ask that the grace of wisdom guide me on my path through death and new life.  Let me build a soul with the stamina to absorb the grace of wisdom so that I may serve the whole of humanity without fear or false pride.  Let the actions of my life acknowledge that all I do, think, say and feel influences the well-being of all creation.

Relying on the Graces of Pentecost: Knowledge

The Grace of Knowledge is located in the third eye in the middle of the forehead.  More than the attainment of information, the grace of knowledge synthesizes our intellectual skills with our spiritual senses so that we may perceive an interior message contained therein with absolute clarity. 
Prayer: I ask that the grace of knowledge guide my thoughts and illuminate my awareness of all that transpires within the resources of my mind.  Grant me the inner light to enter into a deeper knowledge of who I am and help me to recognize and understand mystical knowledge when it is revealed to me.
