Shabbat Message: Consecration, Purpose, Expansion
Kadash means to consecrate, sanctify, prepare, dedicate, be hallowed, be holy, be sanctified. How blessed are we when we create Kadash in our lives. Let us clarify the essence of our being through making our experience here holy so that we can find our unique place in the Cosmic Unity. We find holiness when we recognize and pursue the purpose of our souls, when we realize our own I am presence.
To live in a holy way, we can never be without offering of ourselves. Ego dissociates us making us believe that to give of oneself will take something away from us. Offering is more than giving. It is acting from a deep place of our heart without expectations. Offering is when we do acts of kindness and generosity by reaching out to others and not wanting anything in return.
Create a space in your home or garden that is for prayer. Set up an altar and create an intention for your altar. Your altar will hold this energy and every time you allow yourself to BE in this Sacred Space, you will be nourished. This Sacred Space will nourish all of your experiences. This is the practice of Kadash.
On this Shabbat Day, let us practice Kadash (Aramaic) Kadosh (Hebrew). Let us consecrate this day and make holy every act, word, gesture, experience.
Gospel of Mary Magdalene:
“Acquire my peace within yourselves. Be on your guard so that no one deceives you by saying, ‘Look over here!’ or ‘Look over there!’ For the child of true Humanity exists within you. Follow it! Those who search for it will find it.”
These words teach us about becoming ‘holy’ or sanctified by recognizing and nurturing the divine spark within ourselves. Kadash, to make holy, starts by sanctifying the Inner Temple.

Mary Magdalene, Divine Feminine Christ, Bearer of secret wisdom and eternal light, I call upon you in reverence and love, Asking for your guidance and your grace.
In your presence, I seek solace and strength, To heal the wounds I may carry,
To awaken my heart to the sacred balance, Of masculine and feminine within me.
Mary Magdalene, Apostle of the Apostles,
Teach me to embrace the wisdom you carry,
To honor the Divine Feminine in all her forms, And to nurture the seeds of compassion and truth.
As I walk the path of spiritual awakening, Help me to recognize the divine in myself, And to embody the love and light you shared, Throughout my life and my world.
Mary Magdalene, Feminine Christ,
I honor you, I celebrate you,
And I aspire to follow your example, In service to love, wisdom, and unity.
Sending all of you so much love.
AHAVA,
Ana Otero
