Lord, give me the real happiness, that which depends only upon Thee.

You are always with me with your blessings and your grace.

Your Presence is the supreme protection.

Teach us to be really sincere in our effort towards the Truth.

Lord, Supreme Truth,

We aspire to know Thee and to serve Thee.

Help us to become children worthy of Thee.

And for this, make us conscious of Thy constant gifts so that gratitude may fill our hearts and govern our lives.

Lord, Thy Love is so great, so noble and so pure that it is beyond our comprehension. It is immeasurable and infinite: on bended knees we must receive it, and yet Thou hast made it so sweet that even the weakest among us, even a child, can approach Thee.

With a calm and pure devotion we salute Thee and recognise Thee as the only reality of our being.

Lord, God of Beauty and Harmony,

Grant that we may become instruments worthy of manifesting Thy supreme beauty in the world.

This is our prayer and our aspiration.

O Supreme Reality, grant that we may live integrally the marvellous secret that is now revealed to us.

Sweet Mother, grant that we may simply be, now and for ever, Thy little children.

Here, each one represents an impossibility to be solved; but since for Thy Divine Grace, O Lord, all is possible, will not Thy work be, in the detail as in the whole, the accomplishment of all these impossibilities transformed into divine Realisations?

O my sweet Master, Thou art the conqueror and the conquest, the victor and the victory!

Thy heart is the supreme haven where every care is soothed. Oh, let this heart be wide open, so that all who are in torment may find there a sovereign refuge.

Quiet all violence, let Thy love reign.

13 April 1954

O Lord, let Thy will be done. Thou art the supreme and perfect protection.

O my Lord, with your help and grace what is there to fear!

You are the supreme protection that defeats all the enemies.

O my Lord, Thy protection is all powerful. It defeats every enemy.

To see Thy Victory in all circumstances is certainly the best way of helping It to come.

Addressed to the One Supreme Lord

There is no other sin, no other vice than to be far from Thee.

Lord, without Thee life is a monstrosity. Without Thy Light, Thy Consciousness, Thy Beauty and Thy Force, all existence is a sinister and grotesque comedy.

O Lord, in the depths of all that is, of all that shall be, is Thy divine and unvarying smile.

Prayer for Rain

Rain, Rain, Rain, we want the Rain.

Rain, Rain, Rain, we ask for Rain.

Rain, Rain, Rain, we need the Rain.

Rain, Rain, Rain, we pray for Rain.

Remember that the Mother is always with you.

Address Her as follows and She will pull you out of all difficulties:

"O Mother, Thou art the light of my intelligence, the purity of my soul, the quiet strength of my vital, the endurance of my body. I rely on Thee alone and want to be entirely Thine. Make me surmount all obstacles on the way.''
