Oh, Lord, make me a radiant light
shining in the heaven of Thy love,
reflecting to humanity
the joy of Your Most Great Name.

A meteor streaks
Across the black velvet sky
Light dispels darkness

Oh, Lord, make me a luminous star
outshining the meteors of night
that streak across the midnight sky
in their attempt to express Your love.

Discuss this quote

Oh, Lord, make me a thunderbolt
proclaiming to humanity
the delight of service
to the Blessed Beauty.

A meteor streaks
Across the midnight sky
Waking the sleeper

Oh, Lord, make me a shining light
penetrating the heart of darkness
scattering across the firmament of faith
the scriptures of Divine unity.
