Monday Evening Communion with the Angel of Peace

The Angel of Peace; whose kiss bestoweth calm, and whose face is as the surface of untroubled waters, wherein the moon is reflected. I will invoke Peace, whose breath is friendly; whose hand smooth's the troubled brow. In the reign of Peace, there is neither hunger nor thirst, neither cold wind nor hot wind, neither old age nor death. But to him that has not peace in his soul, there is no place to build within The Holy Temple; for how can the carpenter build in the midst of a whirlwind? The seed of violence can reap only a harvest of desolation and from the parched clay can grow no living thing. Seek ye then the Angel of Peace, who is as the morning star in the midst of a cloud, as the moon at the full, as a fair olive tree budding forth fruit, and as the sun shining on the temple of the most High. Peace dwells in the heart of silence: Be still, and know that I am God.

Communion with the Angel of Work



The man of God who has found his task shall not ask any other blessing.

Angel of Work

Who sings in the humming of the bee, pausing not in its making of golden honey and in the flute of the shepherd, who sleeps not, lest his flock go astray. In the song of the maiden as she lays her hand to the spindle.

And if you think that these are not as fair in the eyes of the Lord as the loftiest of prayers echoed from the highest mountain, and then you do indeed err.

For the honest work of humble hands is a daily prayer of thanksgiving, and the music of the plough is a joyful song unto the Lord. 

He who eats the bread of idleness must die of hunger, for a field of stones can yield only stones. For him is the day without meaning, and the night a bitter journey of evil dreams. The mind of the idle is full of the weeds of discontent;

But he who walks with the Angel of Work has within him a field always fertile, where corn and grapes and all manner of sweet-scented herbs and flowers grow in abundance.

 

As you sow, so shall you reap

The man of God who has found his task shall not ask any other blessing.

Friday Evening Communion with the Heavenly Father

The Heavenly Father who is, who was and who ever shall be. O Great Creator! Thou did create the Heavenly Angels, and thou did reveal the Heavenly Laws! Thou art my refuge and my fortress. Thou art from everlasting Lord; thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou had formed the earth, even from everlasting to everlasting. Thou art God, who have made the waters, and who made the plants.

Who to the wind have yoked the storm-clouds, the swift and even the fleetest?

Who, O Great Creator is the fountain of Eternal Life within our souls?

Who have made the Light and the Darkness? Who have made sleep and the zest of the waking hours?

Who spread the noontides and the midnight?

Thou, O Great Creator! Thou hast made the earth by thy power, have established the world by thy wisdom, and have stretched out the heavens by thy love.

Do thou reveal unto me, O Heavenly Father, thy nature, which is the power of the Angels of thy Holy Kingdom. Immortality and the Heavenly order have thou given O Creator, and the best of all things, thy Holy Law! I will praise thy works with songs of thanksgiving, continually, in all the generations of time. With the coming of day I embrace my Mother, with the coming of night, I join my Father, and with the outgoing of evening and morning I will breathe Their Law. And I will not interrupt these Communions until the end of time.

And over heaven and earth there was a great silence, and the peace of the Heavenly Father and the Earthly Mother shone over the heads of Jesus and the multitude.

Thursday Evening Communion with the Angel of Wisdom

The Angel of Wisdom, you who makes man free from fear, wide of heart, and easy of conscience. Holy Wisdom, the understanding that unfolds, continuously, as a holy scroll, yet does not come through learning. All wisdom comes from the Heavenly Father, and is with him forever.

Who can number the sands of the sea and the drops of rain, and the days of eternity? Who can find out the height of heaven, and the breadth of the earth? Who can tell the beginning of wisdom?

Wisdom hath been created before all things. He who is without wisdom is like unto him that saith to the wood, 'Awake', and to the dumb stone, 'Arise, and teach!' So are his words empty, and his deeds harmful, as a child who brandishes his father's sword and knoweth not its cutting edge. But the crown of wisdom makes peace and perfect health to flourish, both of which are the gifts of God.

O thou Heavenly Order! Angel of Wisdom! I will worship thee and the Heavenly Father, because of you the River of Thought within us is flowing towards the Holy Sea of Eternity.

Wednesday Evening Communion with the Angel of Love

Angel of Love whose healing waters flow in a never-ending stream from the Sea of Eternity. Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of the Heavenly Father, and every one that loves is born of the Heavenly Order and knows the Angels. For without love, a man's heart is parched and cracked as the bottom of a dry well, and his words are empty as a hollow gourd. But loving words are as a honeycomb sweet to the soul; loving words in a man's mouth are as deep waters, and the wellspring of love as a flowing brook.

Yes, it was said in the ancient times: love thy brothers as thyself; the Heavenly Father is love; and he that dwells in love dwells in the Heavenly Father, and the Heavenly Father in him. He that loves not is as a wandering bird cast out of the nest; for him the grass faileth and the stream has a bitter taste. And if a man says, I love the Heavenly Father but hate my brother, he is a liar: for he that loves not his brother whom he has seen, how can he love the Heavenly Father whom he has not seen? By this we know the Children of Light: those who walk with the Angel of Love, for they love the Heavenly Father, and they love their brethren, and they keep the Holy Law. Love is stronger than the currents of deep waters: Love is stronger than death.

Tuesday Evening Communion with the Angel of Power

Angel of Power, you who fills the sun with heat, and guides the hand of man in all his works. Thine O Heavenly Father was the power, when thou did order a path for each of us. Through thy power will my feet tread the path of the Law; through thy power will my hands perform thy works. May the golden river of power always flow from thee to me, and may my body always turn unto thee, as the flower turns unto the sun. For there is no power save that from the Heavenly Father; all else is but a dream of dust, a cloud passing over the face of the sun. There is no man that hath power over the spirit; neither hath he power in the day of death. Only that power which comes from God can carry us out from the City of Death. Guide our works and deeds, O Angel of Power, Holy messenger of the Heavenly Father!

Sunday Evening Communion with the Angel of Creative Work

Angel of Work who sings in the humming of the bee, pausing not in its making of golden honey; in the flute of the shepherd, who sleeps not lest his flock go astray; in the song of the maiden as she lays her hand to the spindle. If you think that these are not as fair in the eyes of the Lord as the loftiest of prayers echoed from the highest mountain, and then you do indeed err for the honest work of humble hands is a daily prayer of thanksgiving, and the music of the plough is a joyful song unto the Lord. He who eats the bread of idleness must die of hunger, for a field of stones can yield only stones. For him is the day without meaning, and the night a bitter journey of evil dreams. But he who walks with the Angel of Work has within him a field always fertile, where corn and grapes and all manner of sweet-scented herbs and flowers grow in abundance. As ye sow, so shall ye reap. The Son of Man who has found his task shall not ask any other blessing.
