When Structures Crumble, the Soul Must Rise
All around us, structures are crumbling,
outer systems dissolving, inner certainties unraveling.
The ground beneath what once felt stable begins to shift,
and the soul is invited to awaken.
We witness the tremors of war,
the heartbreak of women torn from their children,
their sacred dignity disregarded.
We see generations growing up with the weight of uncertainty,
wondering if they will ever know the feeling of home,
of safety, of rooted belonging.
And so, we ask:
How do we hold all of this?
How do we remain in silence,
when the soul itself is weeping…
This is not a time to take sides.
It is a time to take heart.
To draw closer to what is eternal,
to touch the still point within the chaos.
Now is the time to return to the sacredness within,
to remember that beneath every broken system,
beneath every disillusioned hope,
there remains the unshakable sanctuary of the soul.
This is the mysticism we are being called into,
not to flee the world, but to become vessels of Presence within it.
To root ourselves not in reaction, but in radiant awareness.
To embody strength, peace and grace.
We are not powerless.
Our breath is prayer.
Our tears are sacred offerings.
Our wombs are altars of new creation.
Our faithful presence is a living invocation.
We call now upon the Divine Mother,
She who wraps her arms around the exiled and unseen,
She who anoints every wound with compassion,
She who walks beside us not above the fire,
but within it, lighting the way with tenderness.
We remember Mary Magdalene,
who did not look away,
who stood at the threshold between death and life
and held the space for resurrection.
Let us pray…
not to escape the world,
but to birth the Light within it.
Let us return to covenant,
to the sacred agreement of the soul:
to live with grace, to embody truth,
to carry the flame of love through the unfolding mystery.
In a world aching to remember its own soul,
may we become the remembrance.
Sending love and prayers to all of you.
Shabbat Blessings.
