O Divine Providence! All existence is begotten by Thy bounty; deprive it
not of the waters of Thy generosity, neither do Thou withhold it from the
ocean of Thy mercy. I beseech Thee to aid and assist me at all times and
under all conditions, and seek from the heaven of Thy grace Thine ancient
favor. Thou art, in truth, the Lord of bounty, and the Sovereign of the
kingdom of eternity.

CLXXIV: "O GOD, MY GOD! I BEG OF THEE BY THE OCEAN OF..."

O God, my God! I beg of Thee by the ocean of Thy healing, and by the
splendors of the Day-Star of Thy grace, and by Thy Name through which Thou
didst subdue Thy servants, and by the pervasive power of Thy most exalted
Word and the potency of Thy most august Pen, and by Thy mercy that hath

There is none other God but Thee, the One, the Incomparable, the
All-Knowing, the All-Wise.

CLXXVI: "PRAISE BE UNTO THEE, WHO ART MY GOD AND THE..."

Praise be unto Thee, Who art my God and the God of all men, and my Desire
and the Desire of all them that have recognized Thee, and my Beloved and
the Beloved of such as have acknowledged Thy unity, and the Object of my
adoration and of the adoration of them that have near access to Thee, and
my Wish and the Wish of such as are wholly devoted to Thee, and my Hope
and the Hope of them that have fixed their hearts upon Thee, and my Refuge
and the Refuge of all such as have hastened towards T
