Angel of the Chalice, Don Burson

This blessed Cup is fabled to have been the vessel used by the Lord Jesus at the Last Supper. It was also believed to have been the Cup which Joseph of Arimathea used to hold the blood issuing forth from the pierced side and feet of Jesus.

Purity of consciousness does not indicate a lack of worldly knowledge. Rather, it calls us to aim one-pointedly within our minds toward the elimination of nonessential and dishonorable thoughts in order that the clear reflected Light of the Christ Spirit may shine through.
