The Little Prayer on the Saikarali
Opening lines
Oh God Omnipotent You are One, and hold all.Oh God Omniscient You are
One and know all.
Oh God Omnipresent You are One and are present in all.
In Your illimitable love You created me as Your image, eternal spirit
child,
In Your illimitable grace You loan me this soul for a time on earth,
In Your illimitable power You create for me this temporary body.
In Your loving purpose my time on earth is to grow into your perfect child,
In Your loving plan I may learn the knowledge of right and wrong,
In Your loving grace I may endure trails hard and joyful, frightful and
peaceful.
On the cross
By the wonderful power of the cross You show Your Way,
By the symbol of the cross You give me opportunity to change,
By my taking up of the cross You give direction and nurture.
On the 1st bead
This soul You loan to me for intelligence,
This soul You give for making decisions and for breathing Your love,
This soul You require back from me, but not as an unwashed garment.

I am a spirit child created by Love in Your image Oh my God,
I am Your spirit child on a journey home to You my God, please give that

my Holy Family, and so do I worship You:
Father God, Mother God, Yesu Christ the perfect son.
