Dear Ones,

Images of swords have been with me these past days, through the power of (returning) meditations, drawings or messages from friends.

In November of 2016, before I left for France, our son (who was six years old) drew a card for my ailing mother. He drew two swords planted in a rock on the envelope and two knights within the card; a little one, all blue, and an adult knight, with what appeared to be a long orange sword. We sealed the card that evening and I didn’t give it to my mother. I kept it preciously and waited five years and five days before opening it with our son one evening in November of 2021.

Obviously, when talking about the power of swords, one cannot go without alluding to Archangel Michael’s sword. Here is what it says about it.

“Archangel Michael’s sword is a powerful symbol of divine justice, often depicted as a weapon of righteousness, used to combat evil and uphold truth. It represents his role as a warrior and protector, fighting for God’s will and against the forces of darkness. The sword is also seen as a symbol of divine power and authority, capable of cutting through deception and evil.”

Reading this passage brought the following question,

How am I using my sword for the sake of righteousness and justice?

How are we all using our sword at a time when there seems to be so much injustice and un-righteousness in the world?
