This is a prayer showing us what is worth aspiring for.
December 13, 1913
ENLIGHTEN me, O Lord, grant that I may not be mistaken. Grant that the infinite respect, the utmost devotion, the love so intense and profound with which I approach Thee may be irradiating, convincing, contagious, and that they may be awakened in the hearts of all.
O Lord, Eternal Master, Thou art my Light and my Peace; guide my steps, open my eyes, enlighten my heart, and direct me on the paths which lead straight towards Thee.
O Lord, Lord, grant that I may have no other will than Thine and that all my acts be an expression of Thy divine law.
A great light bathes me all over, and I am no longer conscious of anything else than Thee….
Peace, peace, peace on all the earth.
