Description: This piece was composed on the text of a Portuguese version of the poem "A Prayer", by Florence May Holbrook, published in the "London Light" and referred to by Max Heindel as a typical "Rosicrucian Prayer" in his conference "The Mystery of the Holy Grail", in 1909. The title of this piece in Portuguese means "The Prayer of the Sons of Fire", Sons of Fire being the designation by which the members of the Christian Esotheric school called "Fraternidade Rosacruciana São Paulo" (São Paulo Rosicrucian Fellowship, to which the composer belongs) are known.

Portuguese text Não Te rogamos mais luz, ó Deus Não Te rogamos mais forças, senão o modo de usar Não mais alegria, senão como sentir mais próxima Não Te rogamos, amado Deus, mais dons, Faze que dominemos todos os temores Para que amemos a pureza, para que busquemos o bem Assim seja! |
English translation Not more of Light we ask, O God, Not more of strength, but how to use Not more of joy, but how to feel No other gifts, dear God, we ask, Give us all fears to dominate, To love the pure, to seek the good, So be it! |
