MY PRAYER



Come, Holy Spirit, wipe away all tears.
Come, cleanse me now of guilt and cherished fears.
Free me from what ego claims is true.
Help me to see mankind reflecting you.

I pray for healing, not on bended knee,
but with receptive thought to Godward turned.
I make my plea in true humility,
humbly requesting what I have not earned.

Let me upon my fellow man bestow
such gifts as holiness and purity.
Extending here abundantly below
that sanguine largess of divinity.

I would in calm tranquility behold
my fellow man as your beloved Son,
the image of Your likeness manifold,
And see in ego's many, Spirit's One.

I know that what illusions I have held
can never mar the innocence of man,
his fundamental sinlessness upheld
by laws unchangeable in Spirit's plan.

Let me but be a channel for that love
which typified our Master's earthly stay
with healing, — an example from above.
Come, Holy Spirit, grant my prayer today.
