GIVE peace and light to them all, O Lord, open their blinded eyes and their obscured understanding, calm their useless torments and futile cares. Turn their regard away from themselves and give them the joy of consecration to Thy work without calculation or mental reserve. Let Thy beauty blossom in everything, awaken Thy love in all hearts, so that Thy eternally progressive order may be realised upon earth and Thy harmony spread till the day when all will be Thyself in perfect purity and peace.
Oh! may all tears be dried, all sufferings relieved, all anguish disappear, and may a calm serenity dwell in the hearts of men and a potent certitude strengthen their mind. May Thy life circulate in all as a regenerating flood and may all turn towards Thee to draw in this contemplation energy for every victory.
The text above is quoted from the Third Edition, 1954 (translation by Rishabhchand Samsukha)
