' So now return you holy voice to Me. The song of prayer is silent without you. The universe is waiting your release because it is its own. Be kind to it and to yourself, and then be kind to Me. I ask but this; that you be conforted and live no more in terror and in pain. Do not abandon Love. Remember this; whatever you may think about yourself, whatever you may think about the world, your Father needs you and will call to you until you come to Him in peace al last. '
This 'ladder of prayer' is summarized in the pamphlet this way: "You first forgive, then pray, and you are healed. Your prayer has risen up and called to God, Who hears and answers. You have understood that you forgive and pray but for yourself. And in this understanding you are healed. In prayer you have united with your Source, and understood that you have never left."
Taken down by Helen Shucman in the same manner as A Course in Miracles, this 22 page pamphlet discusses forgiveness and healing in the context of prayer, contrasting the meaning of true prayer, forgiveness and healing with their opposites. The process of prayer is described in the panphelt as "growth in forgiveness", with healing seen as the effect of the mind's undoing of the belief in separation.
