Prayer of Essence
May our lives be warmed with Compassion. Derived from the Principle Love. Warmed by its spiritual essence. As we are by the sun above.
May our lives be surrounded by Honesty. Flowing from the Principle of Truth. Surrounded within a glorious meaning. Not like those who are found uncouth.
May our lives be nourished on Valor Emerging from the Principle of Courage. Nourishing our souls upon firm strength. As a child that is raised on porridge.
May our lives be blessed through Spirituality. The source Principles being all three. Blessed by its ebb and flow. As we see in the tides of the sea.
May our lives be cleansed through Humility. Spawned by the Principles in absence. Cleansed of all corrupt impurities. Leaving one washed in a singular essence.
May our lives be protected in Sacrifice. The bequeathing Principles of Courage and Love. Protected by saving while we are giving. While placing all others above.
May our lives shine bright with Honor. Driving Principles of Truth and Courage. Shining bright reason against all odds. Defeating every shameful chaotic barrage.
May our lives be bestowed with Justice. The basing Principles of Truth and Love. Bestowed within strict and narrow guides. Made to fit like a hand and glove.
May our lives be enriched by the Virtues. The Principles being their source. Enriched and nurtured in every way. Guiding our lives upon their course.
Prayer for Daily Toils
We try to attain Virtue in all that we do. Yet sometimes our daily acts seem far removed. Where is the Compassion in mining? Where is the Valor in weaving cloth? Where is the Justice in fishing? Where is the Spirituality in stocking vendors? Where are the Virtues in our daily chores? They are hidden deep within. There is the Honesty of noble effort. There is the Sacrifice of continuing through boredom. There is the Justice of a job well done. There is the Humility in persisting repetition. There is the Spirituality in the embodiment of toil. There is the Valor completing the task. And there is the Honor in performing respectfully. The Virtues are not obvious in our daily duties. Yet Virtue shines in the noble accomplishment. So we must pursue and treasure a job well done.
