Opening Prayer: My Beloved Mystery of Light and Compassion, allow me to be present in this moment and to receive the grace of this moment, to courageously permit it to flow through me. Fill me up with your light so that I may see the path ahead of me and those you have put along my path to ignite a light upon all with compassion and service.
Reading: No such thing as Simple Acts of Compassion by Caroline Myss from Intimate Conversations with the Divine
There is no such thing as a simple act of compassion or an inconsequential act of service, is there Lord? Everything we do for another person has infinite consequences, for that person and for us. The light from stars long ago exploded can be seen in the celestial realm, traveling in all directions, with nothing to stop its journey. I believe that it is the nature of our sacred light. We journey forever, even after our form implodes from exhaustion. Still, our light will continue. Particles of our light sparkle with every choice we make, every idea we have, every gift of love we share. We are living sparklers setting off eternal flames, reigniting another person’s weakening ability to love, or to try again, or to get up and walk another step. There is not such things as a small spark. When I hold that image in my head, Lord, my soul is filled with awe. We can so easily do so much for so many. It takes so very little effort to generate a spark of light from within, and it goes on forever within the soul of another human being. And so much darkness fades away. You have designed this Universe to favor the power of the light – of that I have no doubt.

Closing Prayer: Grace by Caroline Myss
“Lord, grant me the grace of Compassion, and the Courage to act on the authority of that grace. I know this is not a silent grace. It is a grace of action, and it will not allow me to be still when facing human suffering. But if I hope to be treated with Compassion by others, I must open my heart to serve others in kind. I cannot live in fear of the power of this grace.”
Song – Light of your Grace (Beloved Mooji Baba)

Oṃ bhūr bhuvaḥ svaḥ
tát savitúr váreṇyaṃ
bhárgo devásya dhīmahi
dhíyo yó naḥ pracodáyāt
I feel Light, guiding our way home.
I see Light, essence of my soul.
I am light, in my heart I know.
We are light, together we are whole.
Om Arkaya Namaha, Arkaya.
Om Arkaya Namaha.
