Michael Meditation

I eradicate from my soul all fear and terror of

what comes out of the future

I am acquiring serenity in all feelings and

sensations about the future

I look forward with absolute equanimity to

everything that may come

And I think only that whatever comes is given

to me by world direction full of wisdom

It is part of what I am learning in this age

Namely, to live out of pure trust
Without any security in existence
Trusting in the ever-present help of the
spiritual world

Truly, nothing else will do if my courage

is not to fail;

Let me discipline my will

And seek the awakening from within myself
Every morning and every evening
A Verse for Our Time

We must eradicate from the soul

All fear and terror of what comes towards man out of the future.
We must acquire serenity
In all feelings and sensations about the future.
We must look forward with absolute equanimity
To everything that may come.
And we must think only that whatever comes
Is given to us by a world-directive full of wisdom.
It is part of what we must learn in this age,
namely, to live out of pure trust,
Without any security in existence.
Trust in the ever present help
Of the spiritual world.
Truly, nothing else will do
If our courage is not to fail us.
And let us seek the awakening from within ourselves
Every morning and every evening.
In the Morning
O Michael, I commend myself to thy protection,
With all the forces of my heart, I place myself
under thy leadership, that so the day that is
now beginning may be indeed a picture of the
right ordering of destiny that belongs to thy Being.

Evening:
I carry my sorrow into the setting Sun,
I lay all my cares in its shining lap
These my cares come back to me filled with
glowing light, warmed through and through with love,
come back to me as helping thoughts, as power to carry out deeds that are filled with joy of sacrifice.

ANOTHER TRANSLATION :

Morning:

O Michael,
Under your protection I place myself,
With your guidance I connect myself,
Wholeheartedly,
So that this day becomes an image
Of your destiny-ordering Will.

Evening:
I carry my sorrows into the setting sun,
Place all my worries into her radiating womb,
Purified in love, transformed into light,
They return as helping thoughts,
As strength for self-sacrificing deeds.
