40 Days of Letting Go, Letting God
From Release to Embrace
Rules
At the link below, you can find the audio recording of all the Rules. You can randomly choose one and contemplate on it. It may bring you some insight or something to let go of today.

Good Friday, the Holy Week
Today, we are releasing blame and embracing God’s Love for us.
Today, as we release blame we remember the words of ultimate forgiveness:
“Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing.” Luke 23:34
Also, instead of reading clever words on how to release blame I would like you to image hearing these words inside of you:
forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing
Then move your attention to different events and people in you life so far who may have hurt you. When someone’s name appeared in your consciousness simple do as you are told:
forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing
(Please, remember, we are not forgiving the act but the error in their consciousness)
Then start remembering events where you were at fault, and people who have hurt. Once again do as you are told:
forgive them (him/her); for they (s/he) do not know what they (s/he) are doing
(Here we are forgiving our blame, our judgement against ourselves)
Today we affirm: Today I let go of blame and view every
experience in the light of understanding

Holy Week or Passion Week
Holy Week in the Christian year is the week immediately before Easter.
Holy Week begins with the commemoration of Christ’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, marks the betrayal of Jesus on Spy Wednesday (Holy Wednesday), climaxing with the commemoration of the Mystical or Last Supper on Maundy Thursday and the Passion of Jesus on Good Friday. Holy Week concludes with Christ’s rest in death and descent into hell on Holy Saturday.
Christians believe that Jesus rested in death from the ninth hour (3 pm) on Good Friday until just before dawn on Sunday morning, the day of his resurrection from death, commonly known as Easter Sunday.
Holy Week liturgies generally attract the largest crowds of the year. Many Christian cultures have different traditions such as special liturgies or services, floats, sculptures or live reenactments of Christ’s life, his arrest and crucifixion (also called the Lord’s passion, the Passion of Christ or Passion of Jesus)
Looking at the ‘story’ above, what do you think this week could be about in terms of ‘Lifting one’s consciousness?’
Personally, I think it is important to find the True meaning behind the word ‘LOVE’, understand it and experience it as a Spiritual Quality inherently within us.
I am going to walk this 40-day Lenten journey contemplating on the True meaning of Love, Divine Love, Spiritual Love for me by experimenting with the 40 rules and quotes from the Lent Booklet. Every day, between
the 14th of February and the 28th of March 2024,
I will post a ‘rule’ from the book ’40 rules of Love’ and an a release idea from the book ’40 days of Let go, Let God – Lent 2024′ by Unity.org. Then, we will contemplate on it and share about it in the UNITY EUROPE Facebook Group (CLICK HERE).
