Prayers And Sayings

Different to the quotes page, this is for those sayings and quotes which I come back to time and time again. Soul-food.


May wisdom shine through me
May love glow in me
May strength penetrate me
That in me may arise
A helper of mankind
A servant of holy things
Selfless, and true.
— Rudolf Steiner

May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rain fall soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again
May god hold you in the palm of his hand.
— Irish Blessing

I carry my suffering
Into the sinking sun.
I place all my sorrows
Into this shining orb.
Purified by light,
Transformed by love,
They will return
As helpful thoughts,
As strength
For joyful deeds.
— Rudolf Steiner (adapted slightly)
