For Happy Peace and Luminous and Immutable Serenity
O Lord, I sense the infinite happiness which is the portion of those whose life is entirely consecrated to Thee. And this does not depend upon outer circumstances but on one’s own state of being and its greater or lesser degree of illumination. A perfect consecration to Thy law cannot but bring about modifications in the totality of circumstances, yet it is not these which make possible and express this perfect consecration. I mean that it is not under certain circumstances, always the same for all, that Thy law is manifested; for everyone this manifestation is different according to his temperament, that is, according to the mission which for the moment is assigned to him in physical life.
But what is unchangeable and universal is the happy peace, the luminous and immutable serenity of all those who are closely consecrated to Thee, who no longer have any darkness, ignorance, egoistic attachment or bad will in them.
Oh, may all awake to this divine peace.
