IN FRONT OF THE PORTRAIT OF OUR MASTER

 

 

Father’s courage and goodness toward people;
Creature that knows and sees and stretches out his hands toward us;
powerful voice that speaks us of Truth, Purity and Rationality;
heart that reads in the hearts... with silence on His face,
His image tenderly settles in our perceptive souls.
Always imperturbable and never hesitant,
it seems that you dwell in a world of Angles and
near you our souls become aware of themselves,
liberated from the noisy chains of past and unconsciousness.
Taken from Your hands, one clean and never dying out gift –
gift of Peace of Heaven, created by loving Wisdom,
my ego hears the wide Heaven that sings in Your look.
Oh, Master, discovered again, Master for pure Love,
symbol of Divinity, an invigorating model and
deep source for the thirsty from inexpressible joy!
If we set off the narrow road, light – inextinguishable and gentle – sets off with us.

 

 

Paris, 30 November 1937
