Protection

Let us give ourselves entirely and sincerely to the Divine and we shall enjoy His protection.

Clusters of showy bractes covering small flowers.

Additional information

When we are in close contact with the Divine, a protection can come which helps or directly guides or moves us: it does not throw aside all difficulties, sufferings or dangers, but it carries us through them and out of them — except where for a special purpose there is need of the opposite.

What did You mean when You gave me the flower "Protection"?

The protection is there; it is for you to find out how to take advantage of it.

When you think of the Lord's Peace it acts as a call, and the more you think of it the more you surround yourself with it, which is the most powerful protection.
