The Great Innvokation

From the point of light within the mind of God
Let light stream forth into the minds of people
let light descend on earth

From the point within the heart of God
Let love stream forth into the heart of people
may Christ return to earth

From the center where the will of God is known
Let purpose guide the little wills of people
The purpose which the Master knows and serves

From the center which we call the race of people
Let the plan of love and light work out and may it seal
The door where evil dwells

Let light and love restore earth
From the center which we call the race of people
Let the plan of love and light and love work out
and may it seal the door where evil dwells
let light and love restore the planet earth

Affirmation of the Disciple

From a point of light within a greater light
I am a strand of loving energy within the stream of love divine
I am a spark of sacrificial fire, focused within the fiery will of God and thus I stand
I am a way by which people may achieve
I am a source of strength enabling them to stand
I am a beam of light, shining upon their way
And thus I stand
And standing thus, revolve, and tread this way of people and I know the ways of God
And thus I stand

Mantra of Unification

All people are one, and I am one with them
I seek to love, not hate
I seek to serve, not exact due service
I seek to heal, not hurt
I seek to trust, not divide
Let light and love relieve the pain
Let the soul control the outer form and life, and all events, and bring to light the love the love that underlies the happenings of the time
Let vision and insigt come
Let the future stand revealed
Let inner union demonstrate, and outer divisions be gone
Let love preveal, let all people love

Communion

Oh, brother, wisdom pouring into you from the beloved saint of God. You've only borrowed it. Although the house from your heart is lit from inside. That light is lent by luminous neighbors. Give thanks, don't be arrogant or vain. Pay attention without self importance. it is sad that this borrowed state has put religious communities far from religious communion....`Rumi

THE VIDDUI

My Lord, and Lord of my ancestors
Let my prayer come before You
Do not ignore my plea.
Forgive me for all the wrong I have done in my lifetime
My wicked deeds and sins embarrass me
Please accept my pain and suffering as atonement
forgive my wrong doings, for against You alone I have sinned

May it be Your will, Lord of my ancestors that I sin no more
With your great compassion cleanse me of my sins, but not through
suffering and disease
Send a perfect healing to me and to all those who are stricken
My Lord, Lord of my ancestors, I acknowledge that my life and recovery
depend upon you
May it be Your will to heal me
Yet if you decreed that I shall die of this affliction, may my death atone for
all the wrong doings which I have committed before You
Shelter me in the shadow of Your wings; grant me a share in the world to come

Calm me oh Lord

Calm me, O Lord, as you stilled the storm.
Still me, O Lord, keep me from harm.
Let all the tumult within me cease.
Enfold me, Lord in your peace.

I dreamt I saw my name in lights and spoke your word for all to hear
I dreamt my name was recognized by people far and near
But I have come to understand as David long ago that humble service in your house
is still the greatest dream a heart can hold

Oh let me be your servant,
a keeper at your door
My heart is only longing to see for evermore the glory of your presence
The dwelling of the Lord
Oh let me be your servant
a keeper at your door

Lord, I have nothing
Help me to give even what I do not have
Lord, I feel nothing
Help me not be jealous, that you may use me to touch others hearts
Lord, I am weary,
Help me to remember that you have been weary too
Lord, I need refreshing
Help me to refresh others and to forget about my own needs
Lord, I can't see the way ahead,
help me not to get in the way of those who can
Lord, I am disappointed,
Help me to not bring disappointment to others.
Lord, I have no one to help me,
Help me trust in you.
Lord, I can't see you, yet you see me,
Help me to remember that.
Lord, I am not worthy to receive you,
but only say the word and I shall be healed.
