A Gentle Call to Worship

O thou who art tested with a great calamity, be not grieved, be not troubled because of the loss which hath befallen thee.  In the world of existence, man hath traversed successive degrees, until he has attained the human kingdom. Take time to be holy. The word does not mean goody-goody. It means, set apart for sacred use. Thy name is my healing, O my God, and remembrance of Thee is my remedy. I implore Thee, O thou who art the Supreme Ordainer, not to suffer me to be deprived of the breezes which are wafted in Thy days. O Thou, whose face is the object of my adoration… By what means can man acquire these things?
