to morning song: My single most favorite devotional poem

[Guest guest]

-Beloved Morning Song,

i applaud your choice! The beautiful "Prayer of St Francis" has

always moved me greatly. It is one of those glorious prayers that

move way past the boundries of religion, having entered into the

glorious land of Spiritual Awareness. i bow to the sweet, gentle soul

of St. Francis!

Jai Maa! Jai Swamiji! Jai Thakur Ramakrishna Deva!

Your sister always,

muktimaa
