Prayer for expanding Love from self to all brethren. |
O Divine Mother, teach me to use the gift of Thy love in my heart
to love the members of my family more than myself. Bless me, that
I may love my neighbors more than my family. Expand me, so that
I love my country more than my neighbors, and that I love my
world and all human brethren more than my country, neighbors,
family, and myself.
Lastly, teach me to love Thee more than anything else, for it is
Thy love with which I love everything. Without Thee I cannot love
anybody or anything
Father Divine, teach me to enter through the portals of family love,
or through the love of my friends into the mansion of wider social
love. Teach me, then, to pass through the doors of social love into
the wider mansion of international love. Teach me to pass through
the portals of international love into the endless territory of
divine love, in which I may perceive all animate and inanimate objects
as breathing and living by Thy love.
Teach me to tarry not at any of the fascinating, gorgeous gates
of family, social or international love. Teach me to pass through
all these portals, leading to smaller territories of love, until,
passing through the last gate of human love, I can enter into the
endless territory of divine love, in which I shall find all living,
semi-living or sleeping things as my own.
