Rosicrucian Contribution to Peace

I contribute to Peace when I strive to express the best of myself in my contacts with others.

I contribute to Peace when I use my intelligence and my abilities to serve the Good.

I contribute to Peace when I feel compassion toward all those who suffer.

I contribute to Peace when I look upon all men and women as my brothers and sisters, regardless of race, culture, or religion.

I contribute to Peace when I rejoice over the happiness of others and pray for their well-being.

I contribute to Peace when I listen with tolerance to opinions that differ from mine or even oppose them.

I contribute to Peace when I resort to dialogue rather than to force to settle any conflict.

I contribute to Peace when I respect Nature and preserve it for generations to come.

I contribute to Peace when I do not seek to impose my conception of God upon others.

I contribute to Peace when I make Peace the foundation of my ideals and philosophy.

Praise Be to God

In the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful.

PRAISE BE to God, Creator of the heavens and the earth!  He sends forth the angels as His messengers, with two, three or four pairs of wings.  He multiples His creatures according to His will. 

God has power over all things.

Holy Koran 35:1 (Al-Fatir)

Translation by NJ Dawood

Life's Demands

"... what characterizes those relative few who are fully mature is that they regard it as their responsibility - even as an opportunity - to meet life's demands.  Indeed, when we realize that everything that happens to us has been designed to teach us what we need to know on our journey of life, we begin to see life from an entirely different perspective."

M. Scott Peck
