A Prayer of Consecration
The prayer describes a symbolic image of wings and invokes three qualities — wisdom, power, and joy — asking that the space be brought into harmonious vibration with them. It is typically recited in both Portuguese and English within the tradition, reflecting Santo Daime's mixed linguistic and devotional heritage.
Higher Self and Lower Self
Its language draws on a current of thought that describes an inner "Higher Self," understood as the presence of God within the individual, held in communion with an everyday or "lower" self. The prayer frames its act of consecration as an alignment of thought and space with that higher presence.
Thought as a Radiating Force
The prayer's closing lines hold that the vibrations of one's thoughts are stored in the consecrated space and radiate outward to all who enter it, in the doctrine's understanding, making the room a source of good, joyful, and prosperous influence for the community that gathers there.
