Entreaties

In prayer you ask for a ray of Light, but almost always you forget that you have at your disposal the solar focus point to help you to fulfil the Sublime Objectives.

*

Your Spirit supplicates a glimmer of love, while all around you Humanity awaits the manifestation of your capacity to love.

*

You beg for the concession of favours that enable you to collaborate with Divine Wisdom, forgetting that millions of beings are waiting for your willingness to serve, in the name of the Heavenly Father.

*

Your heart demands heavenly signs, and, while in the Wisest of the Wise colours the flowers and the horizons for your eyes to see, you search for vain diversions and notice nothing.

*

You demand justice for your personal affairs and daily complicate situations and problems, without ever noticing that Supreme Harmony always rectifies everything around you, through the intermediary of pain and death.

*

You desire opportunities for growth and ascension to higher spirituality, but frequently run away from the various degrees of laborious and humble work offered to you daily, conceded by the One who is Infinitely Good, in the name of mercy.

*

If you are always entreating eternal happiness, yet refusing the resources enabling you to acquire it, what more can you expect?
