‘The Consecration of the Space’, from the Santo Daime tradition, this prayer is used to consecrate and bless a space where prayers and rituals are happening and it is recited at the beginning of our ceremonial works.
Within the infinite circle of the Divine presence which completely envelopes me, I affirm that;
Consecration of the Sanctuary
There is only one presence here, it is of Harmony, which creates a vibration in all hearts of happiness and joy.
Whoever enters here will feel the presence of the Divine Harmony.
There is only one presence here, it is of Love.
God is Love which envelopes all beings in a single feeling of unity. This sanctuary is filled with the Presence of Love. In Love I live, I move, and I exist. Whoever enters here will feel the pure and holy presence of Love.
There is only one presence here, it is of Truth.
All that exists here, all that is spoken here, all that is thought here is the expression of Truth. Whoever enters here will feel the presence of Truth.
There is only one presence here, it is of Justice.
Justice reigns in this sanctuary. All acts practiced here are ruled and inspired by Justice. Whoever enters here will feel the presence of Justice.
There is only one presence here, it is the presence of God, who is Goodness. No evil can enter here. There is
no evil in God. God, who is Goodness, dwells here. Whoever enters here will feel the Divine presence of
Goodness.
There is only one presence here, it is the presence of God, who is Life. God is the essential Life of all beings. It is the health of body and mind. Whoever enters here will feel the presence of Life and Health.
There is only one presence here, it is the presence of God, who is Prosperity. God is Prosperity because God
makes everything grow and prosper. God expresses God’s Self through the Prosperity of all that is carried out here in God’s name. Whoever enters here will feel the Divine presence of Prosperity and Abundance.
Through the esoteric symbol of the Divine Wings, I am in harmonious vibration with the universal currents of
Wisdom, Power, and Joy. The presence of the Divine Wisdom is manifested here. The presence of the Divine
Joy is deeply felt by all those who enter here.
In the perfect communion between my lower self and my Higher Self, which is God in me, I consecrate this
sanctuary to the perfect expression of all of the Divine qualities, which are in me and in all beings.
The vibrations of my thoughts are the forces of God in me, which are stored here and are hence radiated to all
beings, thus establishing this space as a center of giving and receiving of all that Good, Joyful, and Prosperous.
Prayer
I Thank You oh God, for this space is filled with Your presence. I Thank You, for I live and move within You.
I Thank You, for I live in Your Life, Truth and Health, Prosperity, Peace, Wisdom, Joy and Love. I Thank You, for all who enter here feel Your presence. I Thank You, for I am in Harmony, Love, Truth, and Justice with all beings.
Amen
