God Loves You

Joana de Angelis (Spirit) – Divaldo P. Franco | From the book ” Child of God”

God loves you, and you know it.

His tenderness caresses your face, and His hands sustain you.

His breath vitalizes you.His silent voice reaches your ears with blessings, with hope, and guidance.

God seeks for your and finds you.Now that you feel Him, let yourself be permeated and be guidedto the happy destiny awaiting you.

God lives, and manifests Himself, and extends His love through you. You know this…And whenever you are, God is with you.

For Those Who are Sick

from ‘Gospel According of Spiritism’ Allan Kardec

(Prayer to be said by the sick person)

Lord, You are all justice. The illness You saw fit to send me must be deserved, becauseYou never impose suffering without just cause.Therefore I entrust my cure to Your infinite mercy.

If it pleases You to restore my health, may (Your Name) be blessed!

If on the contrary it is necessary for me to suffer more, may

You be blessed just the same. I submit without complaint to Your wise purpose, since what You do can only be for the good of Your creatures.

Dear God, let this infirmity be a timely warning to me, which will cause me to meditate upon myself.I accept it as an expiation for my past and as a test of my faith and submission to Your blessed will.

At Bedtime

from ‘Gospel According of Spiritism’ Allan Kardec

Lord, for a few short instants,  my soul will be together with other Spirits.

So I beg the good Spirits to come and give me counsel.

Guardian Angel, please help me to keep a lasting

and beneficial impression of this encounter on awakening!

For The Guardian Angel

from ‘Gospel According of Spiritism’ Allan Kardec

Dear God,

Allow the good Spirits who accompany me to help me when I am in difficulty

and uphold me when I falter.

Lord, may they inspire me with faith, hope and charity;

may they be a point of support, an inspiration and a testimony of Your mercy.

May I always encounter in them the strength that I lack for the tests of life,

the strength to resist all evil suggestions,

the faith that saves and the love that consoles.

For Suffering Souls Who ask For Prayers 

from ‘Gospel According of Spiritism’ Allan Kardec

Forgiving and merciful God, may your goodness extend over all spirits who ask for our prayers, especially the soul of [person’s name]. Good spirits, whose only concern is to do good, intercede with me for their consolation. Make a ray of hope shine on their eyes, and may the divine light enlighten them regarding the imperfections that keep them from the dwelling place of the blessed. Open their hearts to repentance and the desire to purify themselves to hasten their advancement. Enable them to understand that, through their efforts, they may shorten the time of their trials.

May God in his goodness give them the strength to persevere in their good resolutions!

May these benevolent words soften their suffering by showing them that there are people on the earth who sympathize with them and desire their happiness.

For a Suicide

from ‘Gospel According of Spiritism’ Allan Kardec

We know, Lord, the destiny that awaits those who violateYour law, by voluntarily abbreviating their days.But we also know that Your mercy is infinite. So please condescendto extend this mercy to the soul of … .

May our prayers and Your commiseration lessen the harshness ofthe sufferings they are experiencing for not having had the courageto await the end of their trials.

Good Spirits, whose mission it is to help those who are wretched,take this Spirit under your protection;inspire him to regret the error committed.

May your assistance give him strength to support withgreater resignation the new trials through which he will have to passin order to make reparation.

Turn aside from him the evil Spirits who are capable of once again impelling him towards that same act and so prolonging his sufferings by making him lose the fruits of future expiations.

We also direct ourselves to you, whose unhappiness is the motive for our prayers, to offer a wish that our commiseration may diminish the bitterness and help to create within you the hope for a better future.

This future lies in your hands; believe in the goodness of God, whose bosom opens to accept all repentance and only remains closed to hardened hearts.

The Importance of Prayer

From “Spiritist Magazine” by Etel Shulte

Divaldo lifted his head and saw in front of him a white shape dressed in some type of tunic; it was very bright and was watching him with a smile in his face. Divaldo looked at him again and didn’t recognize him. He didn’t know who the visitor of light was.

Then the Spirit approached him and said:

“Don’t you recognize me? I am the man who threw himself on the train tracks in a moment of great desperation and anguish. I was really out of my mind, half mad of fear.”

​Divaldo observed him and remembered the name that was written in his notebook. He approached the man and greeted him with much love.

“Brother, I am so happy to see you well – Divaldo told him – How do you feel?”

​“I am fine thanks to your prayers. When I woke up in the spirit world, after a long period of time of wandering in the dark, I started listening to a voice calling my name. It was your voice. Slowly that voice guided me to the awareness and the repentance for the act that I committed. I started understanding that my wrong act only prolonged my agony. In addition, only then I knew that my action triggered other dramas. My wife, in order to feed our children, ended up as a prostitute. The children, without a father that guided them, fell into serious errors. I suffered a lot learning in all of this. I had never imagined that my suicide could provoke so many consequences, not only for me but for my loved ones. Then the voice repeating my name and asking the good Lord to guide me, made me see the reality of my life and my state, and it awakened me. I cried a lot and I was rescued by a group of spirits of  Light that took me to a safe place in which I got assistance and help.

Everything, thanks to your prayers, Mr. Divaldo. I am immensely grateful. Now, I came to help you, so you can recover your strength and continue fighting like you always have. Jesus is always near us and you know this better than anyone else. You cannot get carried away by sadness and difficulties!”

​

Divaldo looked at him with his eyes full of tears and gave him a big hug. He got up from his chair and from the depressive situation in which he was. His new friend was helping him from the other side of life.

 

The power of prayers is so great that it doesn’t have limits, it can do anything.
