We imbibe this greatest of all human Truths – Suffering is Grace. We let this Truth resonate in every cell of our being. We let our DNA laugh aloud with its Truth.

We are a passage towards the Divine, and our suffering is the river that leads us finally to the ocean of You, of I Am. We open our wounds to the great Seal.

We accept our individual wound as an aspect of the world wound. We cradle this sacred wound in the palms of our soul. We offer it up to you like a hurting child for your healing.

All over the world, we envision others also offering up this same wound for the sake of the healing of the whole. We remember the wounds of our ancestors, their fear, their violence, their grief, their guilt. In offering you our wound as the world, we offer you the memories and pain of our ancestors.

We affirm that in working with the Seven Sacred Seals we will come into closer relationship with our own suffering and our own wound. We understand that compassion comes from this relationship.

We draw the deep breath of Valour into our lungs and fill them with your Righteousness. We proffer the wounds of humanity into the Seventh Sacred Seal.
