Aramaic - the language of Jesus and his disciples - has captured the imagination of seekers from every faith and spiritual tradition. Since the publication of his bestseller Prayers of the Cosmos, Aramaic scholar Dr. Neil Douglas-Klotz has become a foremost expert at uncovering the rich layers of meaning found in Jesus' native wisdom sayings. Now, in Blessings of the Cosmos, this renowned author presents a collection of all-new translations of Jesus' best-loved benedictions and invocations for peace, healing, divine connection, and more including:
Come unto me, all ye that labor - blessings to renew and re-dedicate your life's sacred vocation
Ask, and it shall be given you - discovering your origin in the source of Love itself
Jesus' parting words to the disciples, from the blessing of greater works to the many mansions teaching to the great commandment on love, and more
Jesus' Beatitudes in Luke: blessings for our inner being
Plus an 80-minute CD with 20 guided Aramaic body prayers - similar to the traditional Middle Eastern practices that Jesus himself used to generate spiritual energy and insight
Whether for personal inspiration or use in communal worship and rites of passage, Blessings of the Cosmos offers you a heart-opening prayerbook that will guide you toward an ever deepening, daily experience of the divine. 112 pages
