Prayer of St Francis

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace;
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master,
grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood, as to understand;
to be loved, as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.

Amen.

The Prayer of St Francis is a declaration of intent and faith. Each Sunday in March we will deepen into a meaning of one of the lines of this exquisite and transformational prayer and feel what it means to be God’s instrument.

Accepting Divine Ideas

I am a Divine being connected to a Divine spirit. I accept that I am the embodiment of a Divine Idea in the mind of God. The power of God’s expression is unlimited. Nothing can stop the action of God from forever unfolding and expressing through me. I am maintained and sustained by an Infinite Mind. This mind created me and guides me in right and perfect ways. Every experience is an opportunity for a larger expression of love, harmony and cooperation.

I accept that each God-given idea is in me now and working through me now. These ideas are spiritual ideas and are in control of my thoughts, feelings and actions. Each idea brings limitless possibilities with it. Every idea is expressed completely, on time and in right sequence. I make good use of every God-ordained idea. I affirm and accept that every Divine Idea prospers and blesses me and those around me. With gratitude, absolute trust and invincible faith, I declare this as the truth of my being, I let it be, and so it is!

Self-Worth

There is a power within me that guides me in a positive direction and provides limitless channels for my expression. I identify with One Mind and One Life, God, infinite good. This One Mind is never confused or divided. It is centered in clear thinking and bound by the unifying power of Divine love. As a unified being, anchored in love, I am awake, stable and at peace. The all-knowing power within me reveals to me all that I need to know at the moment I need to know it. It removes any false appearance of fear, dissolves discord of any nature and increases self-awareness, so that faith and trust are restored.

I am a gift of God and therefore of infinite worth. I gracefully move forward allowing the light of Truth to melt the clouds of doubt away, while fortifying my conviction of self-worth. I am not bound by the illusion of time or space. I live in the present moment and abide in the sacredness and integrity of my vision. My life is worthwhile and I live it wholeheartedly. I am an Infinite self and all the power of the infinite mind exists within my mind right here and right now! I accept this Truth and the power of it. I give thanks, let it be, and so it is!

Spiritual Riches

I am one with Spirit. I am all that it is and it is all that I am. It is an infinite intelligence that abides within me and lives through me intelligently. Its energy is divine and melts away anything that is unlike itself. It does not judge or compare. It is a gentle and firm authority that encourages, empowers and accepts others. Its light heals all wounds through self-love and self-acceptance. It begins and ends with me. There is no compromise, no separation, no resisting and no avoidance of Truth. I am the light of my soul and I choose to set myself free and honor who I am.

The heart of my spirit is deeply enriched by experiences that allow me to awaken to my own evolution. I am free from any limitation of the past and all negative infringement of past memories. I confidently express my fullest authentic self. I am rich in gifts and filled with blessings. I set myself free to be all of me. In gratitude, I release these words, knowing they are the law of my life, and so it is!

Spiritual Light

Let us therefore light the candle of love, human kindness, forgiveness and understanding in our own soul & let it shine brightly.
Let us not peer into the darkness, troubled and concerned because it is so foreboding & unknown.
Rather let us remain steadfast in the radiance of that spiritual light of truth within ourselves.
Let us stand guard so that the winds of malice, cross purpose, ignorance or misunderstanding will not blow out the light.
Let us so live each day that the light from our candle of spiritual knowledge will forever be clear and understood, not only by ourselves but by all whom we come in contact.

There Is Creative Purpose In My Expression

I am one with the presence, the power and the mind of God. I see the perfect expression in myself and in everyone God has created. I am part of a Divine Plan and my life expression is included in that plan. It includes the drive, strength and motivating power to sustain and maintain the full expression of a purposeful life. It includes an infinite capacity to achieve and to accomplish. It includes the ability to be a far-reaching positive force and inspiration that attracts, empowers and benefits others.

To express and glorify God is to recognize my individual value. My life has meaning because I am divinely connected to my source. I am aware that a constructive power uses me as a conduit. There is that within me, which directs me toward the right expression for the right purpose, which brings the right results from my intentions and desires.

I am firm in my conviction of this truth and I act in confidence and calm assurance, knowing that right action prevails. In gratitude, I release this and let it be, and so it is!

Daily Affirmations For A Happy Prosperous Life

I willingly and joyfully accept that I am part of a Divine Plan, that plan includes health, love, happiness, success, abundance and complete self-expression.

I am forever grateful that every part of my being is filled with over-flowing health, love, happiness, success, abundance and divine self-expression. So it is!

Being What God Intended Me To Be

God is at the center of my being. I am peacefully anchored in a calm center. My energy is aligned with the divine. I release myself from destructive thoughts and let my intuition take over. My creative expression is inspired to spring forth to its full potential.

I let go of any limited thought or idea and remember that I am a divine idea in the mind of God. I am the brilliance of God-mind in full action, motivated and sustained by a power greater than I am.

It is my nature to succeed. God intended for me to be a pure expression of perfect being. I lack nothing. I live a joyous life filled with inspiration, enthusiasm and deliberate purpose. Each and every idea comes with vibrancy and a purpose and the power to produce the complete and perfect manifestation. My faith is alive, active and consistent.

By means of this word, criticism is neutralized and negativity is dissolved. I am a divine being radiating my goodness out into the world. I am happy, healthy, wealthy, prosperous and the full and complete expression of creative mind. The law of perfect right action is the only law there is. I accept, believe and trust that this absolute truth is permanently ingrained in my subconscious mind. I rejoice and give thanks for this already complete demonstration, I release it to the law of mind that immediately responds by corresponding, and so it is!

New Opportunities Bring New Riches To My Life

This is a new day, a new time and a new possibility and it begins with me. I am at one with God and so is everyone else. I choose to use this truth to light my path with glorious new experiences, that enrich my life and the lives of others.

I am filled with purpose, direction and ideas that make the world a better place. All that is necessary for the fulfillment of a world that works for everyone is already established in divine mind. This is life’s adventure and life needs room for the unknown so that I may grow to greater heights. I believe that life is over flowing with goodness and all I need to do is accept it. Life is rich with blessings and the biggest blessing is that I am alive in this moment, breathing all of life in. I am significant and an important part of the universe. I am a divine idea in the mind of God. There are no barriers to what I am capable of accomplishing. I am grateful that all my needs are met.

I appreciate myself, my life and everyone in it. I declare and accept that new opportunities bring new richness to my life.

In gratitude, I rejoice in this Truth, I let it be and so it is!

Happy New YOU!!

A Christmas Letter From Ernest Holmes

       Christmas is for remembrance. The love manifested through our gifts to each other typifies the offer of Life and the givingness of Spirit to Its creations. The hands of the eternal are outstretched through our hands, and the heart of the Infinite beats in the human breast. But the giver must give of himself, for, “the gift without the giver is bare.”
       It is not, then, in lavish gifts that we find true giving, but in the sweet simplicity of remembrance, in the kindly thought, the tolerant mind and the gentle act. Love alone can give love, sympathy alone can sympathize and only goodness can really do or be good.
       The one who gives for reward does not give at all; he seeks to bargain; to trade for spiritual gifts; hence, he senses a loss in his own giving and finds no completion through the act. But, he who gives “half his meat” to the hungry feels justified and is warmed by a real sense of comradeship. He has established an actual unity between himself and other offspring of Creation.
       Great causes succeed when there is a giving of humanity to humanity. With the check must come the one who wrote it, his interest, his enthusiasm, his love. The check must be a symbol of his desire to impart of himself—then shall it multiply its benefits and do good. Charity is cold—but love is warm. When heart speaks to heart a divine conversation has taken place, a heavenly discourse.
       Each of us has something to give. Let each see that he gives of his best. If we are bringing our gifts to the alter of love, nothing less than the best will be acceptable; nothing less than all is enough.
       May the real spirit of Christmas—the giving of the self to life, enter and abide in you now and through all times.
 
                                                Sincerely,
                                             Ernest Holmes

Merry Christmas my Dear Ones!! Take these sweet and sacred words with you as you celebrate and share all the gifts that are within you!
