Prayer for a united world May 6th

[Eva Libre]

 

"Prayer for a United World," by Paramahansa Yogananda

May 6 is this year's National Day of Prayer (observed throughout the United States). Please join the SRF monks and nuns, and the members of the Self-Realization Fellowship Worldwide Prayer Circle, in offering special prayers for the healing and upliftment of all humanity, and for world peace. Prayer for a United World May the heads of all countries and races be guided to understand that men of all nations are physically and spiritually one: physically one, because we are the descendants of common parents−the symbolic Adam and Eve; and spiritually one, because we are the immortal children of our Father, bound by eternal links of brotherhood. Let us pray in our hearts for a League of Souls and a United World. Though we may seem divided by race, creed, color, class and political prejudices, still, as children of the one God we are able in our souls to feel brotherhood and world unity. May we work for the creation of a United World in which every nation will be a useful part, guided by God through man's enlightened conscience. In our hearts we can all learn to be free from hate and selfishness. Let us pray for harmony among the nations, that they march hand in hand through the gate of a fair new civilization.   − Paramahansa Yogananda
