Memorial Day – All Souls Day – I would like to weep tears for you, as the pain urges them from the heart!
All Souls Day commemoration with Father Reding (Zen Monk) from the Honora Zen Monastery in Switzerland. As a ritual master, I would be happy to guide you through a ceremony to commemorate all those who have died.
Faithful Heavenly Father, all life comes from you and returns to you. You decide when we are born and when we die. Death affects us. Sorrow and pain move us, we thank everyone who shares pain and powerlessness, sorrow and hope with us and helps us to say yes to life. You know the innermost and most personal secret. Show your power of love.
Prayer and Meditation - Through Death to Life - All Souls Day
I stood at your country's borders, at your green seed forest. And on the first ray your song came down. You buzz towards the sun like a mosquito towards the light, your song was like a rain of flowers, your wing beat like a poem. Then I felt as if I had to struggle for the young day myself. As if I were listening to my own singing and the beating of my own wings. The sun sprayed glowing sparks, my face burned with flames. I myself staggered drunkenly, like a mosquito after the light. Suddenly it sank and sank down, like dead coal in the seed.
Still saw small limbs twitching and then I approached, startled. Your last song, it had faded away, you lay there, a poor, cold remnant. Fluttering on the beam and sunk in your half-built nest. I would like to weep tears for you, as the pain urges them from the heart. Because my life will also appear, I feel it, scorched and scorched. Then you, my body, you poor leftovers! Then just a grave on a green field, and only close, close to my nest, only in my quiet homeland!
