LETTER TO LAITY  

Round Table 4, Letter to the Diocesan Coordinators/ Animators
Sorel-Tracy, October 15, 2008.

 Dear Friend:

With this letter, I send you a “Prayer  for the Growth and the Spreading of the Daisy Movement”. It is not a short prayer that can be placed on the back of a picture, that can be read within a minute, that can be easily learnt by heart. I have written some of that kind and placed them on the Internet at “Prayers for Priests”. This is a long prayer: it contains 161 verses, grouped into three blocks of 50 and a conclusion of 11 verses.  It invites the reader to reflect and to meditate.

One is not supposed to read the whole prayer at once; it was not written that way either. You can read only a few verses and meditate on them.  The subtitles help you to do so. I place a paperclip wherever I stop to easily find the place where I want to continue reading and meditating.

I composed this prayer at the request of some Petals. May it be useful to at least some of them and even to some priests. You can announce it to your people.

This prayer is available in six (6) languages on the Internet, from which you can download it. You can also obtain it form me in a printed 40-page booklet in English or French It is free. However, any donation to help us pay for the printing and distribution costs would be greatly appreciated.

With a daisy bow to you,
