Prayers and Poems

Invocation from the Mass of St. Julian:
In the name of God the Creator, and of God the Redeemer, and of God the Holy Mother Spirit, Amen.

I will kindle my fire this day in the name of the Holy Angels of Heaven, in the name of Raphael, guardian of Air, in the name of Michael, guardian of Fire, in the name of Gabriel, guardian of Water, in the name of Uriel, guardian of Earth, without malice, without jealousy, without envy, without fear, without terror of anyone under the Sun.

Oh God, kindle thou in my heart within, a Flame of Love to my neighbour, to my foe, to my friend, to my kindred all, from the lowliest creature that lives to the Name that is highest of all. Amen. (author unknown)

 

Aramaic Our Father from the Mass of St. Julian:
Oh God, Father, Mother of the Cosmos, You create all that moves in Light.
Come, enter into the Bridal Chamber of our hearts and prepare us for your marriage of power and beauty.
Unite the crowd within in a vision of passionate purpose as Your Light joins with our Spirits.
Grant what we need each day in the Bread of Knowing You.
Untie the knots within so that we may heal our heart’s simple ties to others.
Let us not enter into forgetfulness, the delusion of false appearances, for out of You, the astonishing Fire, the Birth into Glory, returning, ever burning, Light and Song to the Cosmos, Amen, Amen, Amen. (author unknown)

 

Glory Be

Our Father
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen (traditional)
