Prayers and Meditations

"All appears to me beautiful, harmonious, silent, in spite of the din outside. And in this silence, it is Thou, O Lord, whom I see, and I so perceive Thee that I can only express this perception as that of a constant smile."

"Grant, O Lord, that all shadows may be dispersed and that, more and more, I may become Thy faithful servant in constancy and in serenity..."

"May this day which is about to begin bring to earth and to men a little more of pure light and true peace; may Thy manifestation be more complete and Thy sweet law better recognised; may something higher, nobler, truer be revealed to mankind..."

"How painful and miserable seems to me their life of ignorance and obscurity, their life of foolish agitation and profitless dissipation, when a single spark of Thy sublime light, a single drop of Thy divine love can transform this suffering into an ocean of joy!"

"Lord, I turn towards Thee with a devotion at once joyful and grave and I implore Thee: May Thy love be manifested, May Thy reign come, May Thy peace govern the world."

I salute Thee, O Lord, Master of all life, and I would proclaim Thy reign upon earth.

"Thou art the life of our life and the light of our being, Thou art the master of our destiny."

"...O Lord, eternal Master, enlighten us, guide our steps, show us the way towards the realisation of Thy law, towards the accomplishment of Thy work. I adore Thee in silence and listen to Thee in a religious concentration."

"... every morning my aspiration rises ardently towards Thee and I implore that my being, integrally awakened to the knowledge of Thee, may live only by Thee, in Thee and for Thee..."

"WITH peace in the heart and light in the mind, we feel Thee, O Lord, so living in us that we await events with serenity..."

"Lord, deliver us from all care for contingencies, deliver us from the ordinary outlook on things. Grant that we may henceforth see only with Thy eyes and act only by Thy will. Transform us into living torches of Thy divine love."

"Grant, I implore Thee, that all in my being may be identified with Thee and may I be nothing else than a flaming torch of love, one utterly awakened to Thy supreme action of love."

"O immutable Peace, deliver men from ignorance, may Thy full and pure Light reign everywhere!"

To live in Love, by Love, for Love, indissolubly united to Thy highest manifestation [....] Ever more of light, more of beauty, more of truth!

This morning my prayer rises to Thee, always with the same aspiration: to live Thy love, to radiate Thy love, with such potency and effectiveness that all may feel fortified, regenerated and illumined by our contact.

The body is a marvellous instrument, it is our mind that does not know how to use it [...] But the supreme science, O Lord, is to be united with Thee, to confide in Thee, to live in Thee, to be Thou, and then there is nothing that is impossible to the man manifesting Thy omnipotence.

O THOU whom we must know, understand, realise, absolute Consciousness, eternal Law, Thou who guidest and enlightenest us, who determinest and inspirest, grant that these weak souls may be strengthened and those who are fearful may be reassured.

"O LORD, my adoration rises ardently towards Thee, all my being is like an aspiration, a flame which is consecrated to Thee."
