In these moments of reflection in which we find ourselves, we wish to lift our thoughts in a chain of supplications to Heaven, for all those brothers and sisters of ours whose hearts are still hardened, and to ask for compassion and charity for all these beings who, unfortunately, are among us, thus forming our "necklace of black pearls."
All these souls misguided and hardened in feeling, wrapped in their mistaken ideas about the true meaning of life.
These unfortunate companions on our journey, especially those closest to us, who have not yet been touched by the light of the Good News and who are unaware of the Laws of Nature.
These creatures who hate us, who wish us harm, who do us harm and see us as their enemies, simply because we do not share in their petty and wicked thoughts and actions. These same beings who have allowed themselves to be overtaken by the most despicable passions one can cultivate: hatred, pride, and selfishness.
Yes, our prayers at this moment are for all these beings who, like us, were created from the purest essence of the sublime love of the One who is the absolute Lord of our lives, but who have lost themselves among the thorns and stones along the path of existence.
We ask our dear Mentors who assist us to help these unhappy souls, who carry a heavy burden in their hearts, but who do not yet understand that it is due to these negative passions they insist on nurturing.
May these devoted helpers take to our Master and Lord our sincere prayers for all these hardened souls.
And may these misguided brothers and sisters soon come to know Your law of love, Lord, so that they may finally realize the time they are wasting by cultivating feelings harmful to the immortal being that we all are.
Nevertheless, we understand them, for we too, in past times, were very different from what we are today. We had little knowledge, and our enemies were many. But pain, disappointment, and all the adversities we endured finally made us understand that time is too precious to be wasted accumulating feelings that hinder our progress.
We have gradually learned, read, and studied, and finally we are striving to demonstrate in our daily lives all the wisdom that has reached our hands through an unequaled source: Your Doctrine of Love, Lord!
For these bitter and rebellious beings, the day will also come when they will have to begin their inner reform, for only then will they find serenity in their hearts and the true happiness that is reserved for us all.
So may the sublime peace that constantly surrounds us also embrace them. May the divine light that always accompanies us also become part of their days and nights, illuminating their steps. And may Your consoling blessing, Lord, which always reaches us, also reach them, even if they do not yet know You.
Finally, may everything that we constantly receive from You, Lord, also reach them. May they forgive us for our past mistakes and misconduct, in case they were affected by them.
May they come to know that we are no longer who we once were, for each day we are learning to know ourselves, and by doing so, to be more aware of what still needs to be changed within us. And in our hearts, there will always be room for all of them.
Gratitude, Lord!
