My Prayer for My Country
Ernest Holmes

Believing in the Divine Destiny of the United States of America and in the preservation of liberty, security, and self-expression for all, I offer this, my prayer for my country:

I know that Divine Intelligence governs the destiny of the United States of America, directing the thought and the activity of all who guide its affairs.

I know that success, prosperity, and happiness are the gifts of freedom and the Divine heritage of everyone in this country; that they are now operating in the affairs of every individual in this country.

I know that Divine Guidance enlightens the collective mind of the people of this country, causing it to know that economic security may come to all without the loss of either personal freedom or individual self-expression. I know that no one can believe or be led to believe that personal freedom must be surrendered in order to insure economic security for all.

The All-knowing Mind contains the answer to every problem which confronts this country. I know that every leader in this country is now directed by this All-knowing Mind and has the knowledge of a complete solution to every problem. Each is impelled to act upon this knowledge to the end that abundance, security, and peace shall come to all.

And I know that this Spiritual Democracy shall endure, guaranteeing to everyone in this country personal liberty, happiness, and self-expression.

Are You Ready for an Awakened World?
Claudia Abbott

Have you ever felt as if the world needs to wake up to the awareness that the challenges facing the human and planetary communities cannot be ignored? Are you frustrated with the negative barrage of news that paints a picture of doom and gloom? Do you feel called to engage in dialogue and action to create a world that works for everyone? Two hundred religious and spiritual leaders, secular experts, and grassroots activists from the great faith traditions experienced such a call. They traveled from countries around the globe and met in Rome and Florence October 13-21, 2012, to engage in dialogue to shape initiatives and encourage spiritually motivated global action for a better world.

Messages of Peace from Mahatma Gandhi and Arun Gandhi

 “It is up to you to redeliver to the whole world the precious heritage our teachers have left us.” M. K. Gandhi

In “Arun Gandhi—Messenger for Peace” by Rev. Mark Gilbert (Science of Mind, November 2012), readers learned about the legacy of M. K. Gandhi, called “Mahatma,” which means Great Soul, and the commitment that his grandson Arun Gandhi has made to continuing this legacy of peace. We are pleased to share talks from these two powerful luminaries of peace.

 “A Message of Love,” by Mahatma Gandhi, is included in the Live Again! 3—Peace, the Unique Voice and Message of Ernest Holmes. This address by M.K. Gandhi was taken from the only existing recording of the Mahatma speaking to an audience in the English language. It was recorded in 1947 at the Conference for Inter-Asian Relations in New Delhi, India.

Arun Gandhi travels extensively sharing his message of peace. In February 2011, as part of the Season for Nonviolence, he spoke to students in Aurora, Colorado, about alternatives to violent responses. This program was presented by the Aurora Police Department, Aurora Public Schools, and New Dawn Center for Spiritual Living.
