"Grow Old Along With Me"

Grow old along with me! The best is yet to be;

the last of life, for which the first was made.

Our times are in His hand Who saith,

"A whole I planned; youth shows but half;

trust God, see all, nor be afraid!"

Robert Browning

A Prayer for Animals

Hear our humble prayer, O God,

for our friends, the animals. Especially for animals

who are suffering; for any that are hunted or lost

or deserted or frightened or hungry; for all that must be put to death.

We entreat for them all Thy mercy and pity.

And for those who deal with them,

we ask a heart of compassion, gentle and kindly words.

Make us true friends of the animals

and so to share the blessings of the merciful.

Albert Schweitzer

"Love is not an activity of the mind, but is the

'pure and luminous essence' which creates mind."

St. Germain

"This essence from the Great God Flame streams into substance, and constantly pours itself out, as perfection in form and action. Love is Perfection manifest. It can only express peace, joy, and an outpouring of those feelings to all creation -- unconditionally. It asks nothing for itself because it is eternally self-creating, being the heartbeat of the Supreme. Love owns All and is only concerned with setting the plan of Perfection into action in all. Thus, it is a constant pouring out of Itself. It takes no cognizance of what has been given in the past, but receives its joy and maintains its balance by the continual outstreaming of Itself. Because this Perfection is within Love, forever flowing forth, It is incapable of recording anything but Itself."

St. Germain
