A Sermon for Great Friday Umma of Inanna — INK-Spirit

A Sermon for Great Friday 

Umma of Inanna — INK-Spirit 

By JEY of Went 

Opening Chant

We gather in light, each carrying a ray, 

Different in view, yet one in the day. 

With open hearts, we choose to see, 

Through one another, we become free. 

Message 

Today we gather not in fear of change, 

but in recognition of it. 

Because to be human… is to shift. 

We are like rays of sunlight—each one touching only a small part of the Earth at any given time. From where we stand, we believe we see clearly… yet we only illuminate a fragment. 

And so, we are not meant to stand alone in our knowing— 

we are meant to combine our light. 

Perspective is not a weakness. 

It is the design. 

When we respect each other’s position—not to conquer it, not to correct it, but to understand it—the world becomes more whole. The light spreads wider. Truth becomes less about control… and more about connection. 

This is the shift we are living in now. 

On This Day of Reflection 

Good Friday has long been understood as a day of loss, sacrifice, and grief. 

And from one perspective, it is. 

But today, we gently expand that view. 

What is called “good” has often depended on who holds the power to define it. 

There have been ages shaped through structure, hierarchy, and control. 

And there have always been quieter truths— 

carried through care. 

The truth of the mother. 

A mother does not love through dominance. 

She does not raise through division. 

She does not measure worth by difference. 

She receives. 

She holds. 

She nurtures what is. 

And in that… there is a form of leadership humanity is remembering again. 

The Return of Balance 

This moment is not about replacing one power with another. 

It is not reversal. 

It is restoration. 

Strength without care fractures. 

Care without strength exhausts. 

We are witnessing a rebalancing. 

Voices once quiet are now speaking. 

Perspectives once dismissed are now being heard. 

The energy of nurturing, intuition, and inclusion is rising— 

not to overpower… but to stabilize. 

Yes—change brings discomfort. 

Yes—it brings fear. 

But fear is not always a warning. 

Sometimes… it is simply the feeling of something new being born. 

A Mother’s Charge 

To the women gathered here—the Umma of Inanna— 

You are not here to escalate. 

You are not here to divide. 

You are here to steady. 

To be calm within movement. 

To be the voice that says: 

we can evolve without destroying each other. 

A mother does not abandon her child when he struggles. 

She does not discard him when he is lost. 

She sees him—first as her creation, 

then as his becoming. 

And so we are called to see humanity: 

Not as enemies… 

but as beings still learning. 

Seeing Through Each Other’s Eyes 

If this era is to be Great—not just good— 

We must expand perception. 

We must learn to see through each other’s eyes. 

Not to agree on everything… 

but to understand enough to choose peace. 

Because what is truly meant for good 

does not need force. 

It becomes clear. 

From Good to Great 

Today we honor all perspectives. 

We honor the grief. 

We honor the past. 

We honor what was—and what is becoming. 

And we step forward with intention. 

From Good Friday… 

to Great Friday. 

A day where change is guided. 

A day where power is balanced. 

A day where the world is illuminated—together. 

Closing Blessing 

May you walk gently in this time of change. 

May your voice bring calm where there is fear. 

May your presence remind others they are still held. 

And may we learn to see not just from where we stand… 

but from the light we create together. 

Closing Chant (to be read together) 

We are the calm, we are the guide, 

We hold the change, we stand beside. 

With steady hearts and open sight, 

We turn this day to greater light.
