Our Open Hand tribe invites you all to the blessing of Ariana Powell on Sunday, 28th of June at the Reynolds home. We will have a pitch-in bria /feast and everyone is welcome to begin the festivities around 5:00ish (a bit earlier than usual for those with infants and toddlers).
A Medieval Celtic Anointing Prayer for wee Ariana
Thou Being who inhabitest the heights
Imprint Thy blessing betimes,
Remember Thou the child Ariana Powell of our tribe,
In the Name of the Father of peace;
When the community of the King
On her put the oil of anointing,
Grant her the blessing of the Three
Who fill the heights.
The Blessing of the Three
Who fill the heights.
Sprinkle down upon Ariana Thy grace,
Give Thou to her virtue and growth,
Give Thou to her strength and guidance,
Give Thou to her flocks and possessions,
Sense and reason void of guile,
Angel wisdom in her day,
That Ariana may stand without reproach
In Thy presence. Amen!
The first anointing is in the name of the Father, representing wisdom,
The second anointing is in the name of the Son, representing peace,
The third anointing is in the name of the Spirit, representing purity.
