Salient Thought
for the Day
We must learn the art of always carrying the inner light of holiness.
Lines
to Memorize
This flame that burns in my heart was lighted by Thy hand.
Thy servant keeps watch.
Thou alone canst give him power to conquer sleep
That his eyes may keep watchful vigil in the dark hours of night
Which so oft rob our inward sight.
Lesson
We feel the presence of the great Spirit of the universe in silence. The silence is not so much external silence; it is the silence of our inner being. As long as there is turbulence and unrest within us, we can never reflect the spirit of holiness, nor can we penetrate to the innermost depths of our being. Only when there is a cessation of all unrest within our hearts do we feel the Divine Presence and at once arises within us a new sense of sanctity.
Prayer
O radiant Spirit, shed Your radiance in my heart and mind.
Fill my being with Your Divine Light
That it may shine in all my thoughts and actions
And bring brightness in other lives.
Surround me with Your protecting love and Your abiding peace.
