What the ego perceives with fear,



the right mind perceives with love.

“The body is a limit on love. The belief in limited love was its origin, and it was made to limit the unlimited. . . . it was made to limit you (T.18.VIII.1:2,3,4)

A Prayer for Enlightening the Mind



Enlighten me, good Jesus, with the brightness of internal light, and take away all darkness from the habitation of my heart. Restrain my wandering thoughts and suppress the temptations which attack me so violently. Fight strongly for me, and vanquish these evil beasts—the alluring desires of the flesh—so that peace may come through Your power and the fullness of Your praise resound in the holy courts, which is a pure conscience. Command the winds and the tempests; say to the sea: “Be still,” and to the north wind, “Do not blow,” and there will be a great calm.
