		+	<i>We seek the grace to embrace the teachings of Adalia,

		+	Guide us as we learn to cultivate the gardens of our souls,
		+	Tending to each seed with gentle care and love.
		+
		+	Grant us the wisdom to discern when to pour out,
		+	And when to nurture the wellsprings within ourselves.
		+	Let us see the importance of our own healing journeys,
		+	As the path through which we become vessels of support.
		+
		+	Teach us, O Gracious One, to honor the sacredness
		+	In our own spirits, minds, and bodies.
		+	As we establish roots within, and branches reaching out,
		+	Let us be like strong trees, whose leaves bring shade to the weary.
		+
		+	May our hearts be ever open, yet safeguarded;
		+	An oasis in the desert, yet protected by a wall.
		+	Teach us to embrace love’s boundless power,
		+	While setting boundaries that guard our essence.
		+
		+	As we strive to mend the hearts of others,
		+	May we not forsake our own.
		+	Let the nourishment we partake in replenish our spirits,
		+	And guide our steps as we dance in the rhythm of compassion.
		+
		+	With every breath, let us be reminded,
		+	That our strength is but a reflection of your love.
		+	May we be both a sanctuary for others and for ourselves,
		+	As we follow Adalia’s teachings with grace and humility.
		+
		+	In your Infinite Wisdom and Love, we find our purpose.
		+	In your Divine Embrace, we seek our balance.
		+	Guide us, now and always, as we walk this sacred path,
		+	And may the light of Adalia’s teachings forever illuminate our way.

		+
		+	<i>O Talathas, Divine Shepherd, guide of the righteous and shield against the unjust, hear our humble prayer.
		+
		+	In the endless dance of galaxies, in the ceaseless turning of the seasons, we perceive the order you weave through the cosmos. Like the shepherd tending to his flock, your watchful eye sustains balance, engendering harmony and order where chaos seeks to rise.
		+
		+	We, your devoted servants, bow our heads and open our hearts, seeking your strength and guidance. Gift us with the wisdom to discern truth from falsehood, to uphold justice when darkness encroaches, and to maintain order in the midst of turmoil.
		+
		+	May our judgments be fair, our integrity unyielding, our defiance against tyranny resolute. Imbue our spirits with your steadfast dedication to service, that we may uplift humanity and be worthy vessels of your divine power.
		+
		+	Talathas, our Shepherd, guide our steps in the courts and fields alike. May our paths embody your divine laws, fostering peace and order wherever we tread. Make our hearts brave in the face of tyranny, our minds sharp in the pursuit of justice, and our spirits noble in the service of humankind.
		+
		+	By your divine light, may we become the guardians of order, the swords of justice, the bastions against chaos. Infuse our words with the resonance of your truth, that we may speak with authority, and guide others towards the path of righteousness.
		+
		+	Teach us patience, Talathas, in the face of transgressions. Show us the way of mercy, that we might temper justice with kindness. Guide us towards reconciliation, that we might mend what has been broken, heal what has been wounded, and unite what has been divided.
		+
		+	Bless us, Talathas, with the courage to persevere, even when our path becomes steep and treacherous. Grant us the strength to remain standing, when the storms of adversity seek to bend our resolve.
		+
		+	In your divine name, we pledge to uphold these principles, to defend the defenseless, to support the weak, to challenge the mighty, and to ensure the scales of justice remain balanced for all. Let our actions be a testament to your divine will, a beacon of hope in a world yearning for fairness and justice.
		+
		+	In your name, we pray, O Talathas, Shepherd of the Just and Guardian of Order. Guide us, protect us, empower us.
		+
		+	In your name (We/I) will serve.</i>

		+	To you we humbly speak, from hearts unafraid,
		+	For in your cool, dark cloak we find our strength laid.

		+	The value of now, the joy of verity.

		+	Guide us, Kinurugi, as we walk life's knotted line,
		+	With our ambitions kindled, under your divine sign.
		+	Lead us to honor the cycle, from birth until death,
		+	And find strength in each transient breath.
		+
		+	For we are but travelers in the grand design,
		+	Birthed from the cosmos, to the earth we are entwined.
		+	And when our journey concludes, under your starlit sky,
		+	We shall greet you, Kinurugi, with a fearless eye.
		+
		+	This is our prayer, our pact sealed in trust,
		+	For to you, Kinurugi, return we all must.

		+	<i>In the citadels of our hearts,
		+	We seek thy guidance, oh Mighty Kamalini, The Mother,
		+	Whose light bathes our ambition and ignites our desires,
		+	We gather our voices in sacred unity, acknowledging thy grandeur.
		+
		+	In the dance of creation, it is you who steps forward,
		+	In the throbbing pulse of longing, it is you who vibrates,
		+	In the relentless march of progress, it is you who leads.
		+	You, who shapes the clay of our becoming,
		+	And breathes life into the void of potential.
		+
		+	You who stir the hunger of the soul,
		+	The fire in the belly,
		+	The passion in the breast,
		+	We bow before thee, in reverence of your divine provocation.
		+
		+	Oh Kamalini, mistress of the mighty and the meek,
		+	Keeper of the key to the cosmic cycle,
		+	Unveil before us the path to our ascension,
		+	For we are yours, crafted in your potent image,
		+	Inheritor of your indomitable spirit, drawn towards your beckoning radiance.
		+
		+	We embrace the shadows cast by our earthly yearnings,
		+	Recognizing their origins in your boundless essence.
		+	Lust, avarice, desire - not sins, but the holy trinity of your teachings,
		+	That impel us to breach the barricades of mediocrity and complacency.
		+
		+	We pray for your benediction, oh Mother,
		+	Bestow upon us the fortitude to navigate the labyrinth of existence,
		+	To endure, to excel, and to embody your indomitable will,
		+	To unlock our potential, and find our place among the stars.
		+
		+	In the fervor of our striving,
		+	In the stillness of our satisfaction,
		+	You are there, Kamalini,
		+	In every triumph, every trial,
		+	Every tear, every smile.
		+
		+	Oh Kamalini, Progenitor of Humanity,
		+	Your essence is the melody that gives rhythm to the human symphony,
		+	With hands clasped and hearts ablaze,
		+	We honor you, The Mother, and strive in your name.
		+
		+	So it has been, so it shall be.</i>
