THE GREAT INVOCATION *
A prayer for humanity received by Alice Bailey in 1945
From the point of Light within the Mind of God
Let light stream forth into our human minds.
Let Light descend on Earth.
From the point of Love within the Heart of God
Let love stream forth into our human hearts.
May Christ return to Earth. (May love increase on earth)
From the center where the Will of God is known
Let purpose guide all little wills of men –
The purpose which the Masters know and serve.
From the center which we call the human race
Let the Plan of Love and Light work out
And may it seal the door where evil dwells.
Let Light and Love and Power restore the Plan on Earth.

__________________________________________
This is a slightly adapted wording of the Great Invocation, which was given out in 1945. In accordance with the changing consciousness and language of humanity as we enter into the Aquarian age, this “adapted” wording for the Great Invocation is offered in the hope that it will encourage wider distribution of this world prayer.
Many religions believe in a World Teacher, knowing him under such names as the Lord Maitreya, the Imam Mahdi, the Bodhisattva, and the Messiah, and these terms are used in some Christian, Hindu, Muslim, Buddhist, and Jewish versions of the Great Invocation.
Men and women of goodwill throughout the world are using this Invocation in their own language. Will you join them in using the Invocation every day – with thought and dedication? By using the Invocation and encouraging others to use it, no particular group or organization is sponsored. It belongs to all humanity.
