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.

The Mother

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.
