Prayer for Friday

If there is meaning in life at all,
then there must be meaning in suffering.
~ Viktor E. Frankl

Where eternal luster glows,
the realm in which the light divine is set,
place me, Purifier, in that deathless,
imperishable world.

Make me immortal in that realm
where movement is accordant to wish,
in the third region,
the third heaven of heavens,
where the worlds are resplendent.

(Vedic Funeral Hymn – Rig Veda, Aitareya Aranyaka 6-11)

and to give me perfection, physical, mental and spiritual.

Lead me from the darkness to the light.
Lead me from death to immortality.
