I supplicate that you may become as new beings, illumined with the Divine Light, like unto shining lamps, and that from one end of Europe to the other the knowledge of the Love of God may spread. May this boundless love so fill your hearts and minds that sadness may find no room to enter and may you with joyful hearts soar like birds into the Divine Radiance.
“It is seemly that the servant should, after each prayer, ...” It is seemly that the servant should, after each prayer, supplicate God to bestow mercy and forgiveness upon his parents.
