A PRAYER FOR THE WORK

Beloved Christ, Master to all great teachers in the World,

We beseech Your Presence and commit all learning to Your Care and Direction,

We come to you today in prayer to ask for Your Guidance, in these our efforts.

Too often have we erred with false judgment,
And many times prone to sweet deceptions,
Still yet we are eager to become as perfect men and women!
We pray that we shall not be dissuaded from this,
But hold fast to Your Promise, Your Vision, which You defend.
And we shall be your champions also -
Defying doubt and the guiles of false logic.

Let those who protest the glory of men
Suffer their visions affecting no other;
Until such a time that we pray will arrive,
When they exhaust their improvisations
And come to You Dear Christ, again.

Lord, Your Sweet Breath enters this very room,
The same Breath which spins orbs upon their axes,
And moves with such might,
A might that will inflict no harm.
May we come to learn of the Mysteries of this;
And cheerfully repel the insults of all great and meagre contestants.

Amen

We ask today that the surrounding and immediate ethers be cleansed, that that they might be in accordance with those aspects most suitable to wholesome, healthy, enlightening discourse, meditation or prayer - that the atmosphere be relieved and be unencumbered.

Amen

I call down upon the labors of this group, the power and the grace and the love of those Masters of Wisdom who guide and direct the work we perform in brotherhood within such groups. I call down the grace and the power and the love of the Masters of Wisdom who are directly connected with the forces of the higher hierarchies. May there be with this group the spirit of good that is in you, great Masters of Wisdom, and may there also prevail and work in this group the true spirit of the Movement!

-Rudolf Steiner

• Prayer: We invite and offer thanksgivings, both silently and openly to the Masters, and our friends who also join us today. We are in gratitude to those authors, whose work we study. We pray that our will is pure and that which is given is given in the name of Christ.

• We now ask for silence.
