Christmas Message and Prayers

It has been a busy day, but I did want to make a post and wish everyone, regardless of religious background, Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas. It is a reminder of Jesus (Isa’s) message of mercy, peace and love; a message to breathe every second.

Today, I made special prayers for all the Christians in Iraq, the Assyrians and the Chaldeans who have been a large population of the indigenous people in Iraq for thousands of years. Prayers for the CPT hostages, may their captors release safely these good spirits … prayers the Iraqi people will find Unity which will bring peace and abundance to the region and the world.

I will end this post with some quotes (different sources but the same Message as the Holy Bible) from the Holy Qur’an and the Essene Gospel of Peace in remembrance of Jesus messages to the world…the true meaning of Christmas, the Message…Peace

Holy Qur’an, Yusufali Translation:

003.045
Behold! the angels said: "O Mary! Allah giveth thee glad tidings of a Word from Him: his name will be Christ Jesus, the son of Mary, held in honour in this world and the Hereafter and of (the company of) those nearest to Allah;

003.046
"He shall speak to the people in childhood and in maturity. And he shall be (of the company) of the righteous."

003.047
She said: "O my Lord! How shall I have a son when no man hath touched me?" He said: "Even so: Allah createth what He willeth: When He hath decreed a plan, He but saith to it, 'Be,' and it is!

003.048
"And Allah will teach him the Book and Wisdom, the Law and the Gospel,

003.049
"And (appoint him) a messenger to the Children of Israel, (with this message): "'I have come to you, with a Sign from your Lord, in that I make for you out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, and breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by Allah's leave: And I heal those born blind, and the lepers, and I quicken the dead, by Allah's leave; and I declare to you what ye eat, and what ye store in your houses. Surely therein is a Sign for you if ye did believe;

004.158
Nay, Allah raised him up unto Himself; and Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise;-

019.033
"So peace is on me the day I was born, the day that I die, and the day that I shall be raised up to life (again)"!

019.034
Such (was) Jesus the son of Mary: (it is) a statement of truth, about which they (vainly) dispute.


Excerpt: The Essene Gospel of Peace, Book Three

For the earth shall be filled with the Peace of the Heavenly Father, as the waters cover the sea. I will invoke the Angel of Peace, Whose breath is friendly, Whose hand is clothed in power.

In the reign of Peace, there is neither hunger nor thirst, Neither cold wind nor hot wind, Neither old age nor death. In the reign of Peace, Both animals and men shall be undying, Waters and plants shall be undrying, And the food of life shall be never-failing.

It is said that the mountains Shall bring peace to the people, And the little hills, righteousness. There shall be peace As long as the sun and moon endure, Throughout all generations. Peace shall come down like rain upon mown grass, As showers that water the earth.

In the reign of Peace shall the Law grow strong, And the Children of Light shall have dominion From sea to sea, unto the ends of the earth. T'he reign of Peace hath its source In the Heavenly Father; By his strength he setteth fast the mountains, He maketh the outgoings of morning and evening To rejoice in the Light, He bringeth to earth the river of the Law, To water and enrich it, He maketh soft the earth with showers; They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness, And the little hills rejoice on every side. The pastures are clothed with flocks; The valleys also are covered over with corn; They shout for joy, they also sing.

O Heavenly Father! Bring unto thy earth the reign of Peace! Ten shall we remember the words of him who taught of old the Children of Light:

I give the peace of thy Earthly Mother To thy body, And the peace of thy Heavenly Father To thy spirit. And let the peace of both Reign among the sons of men.

Come to me all that are weary, And that suffer in strife and affliction!

For my peace will strengthen thee and comfort thee. For my peace is exceeding full of joy. Wherefore do I always greet thee after this manner: Peace be with thee!

Do thou always, therefore, so greet one another, That upon thy body may descend The The Peace of thy Earthly Mother, And upon thy spirit The Peace of thy Heavenly Father.

And then wilt thou find peace also among thyselves, For the Kingdom of the Law is within thee. And return to thy Brothers And give thy peace to them also, For happy are they that strive for peace, For they will find the peace of the Heavenly Father.
And give to every one thy peace, Even as I have given my peace unto thee. For my peace is of God….
Peace be with thee
