This coming Saturday, June 3, 2023 is World Invocation Day. Falling every year on the spring Gemini/Sagittarius Full Moon, it is a day when tens of thousands of people across the world recite, pray and meditate upon the Great Invocation (given below).
From the Lucius Trust:
World Invocation Day is a day of prayer, of focused spiritual contact, when people of all faiths and spiritual paths join together to make an invocative appeal to Divinity. This united appeal, focalized through the sounding of the Great Invocation, calls for light and love to flow into human consciousness so that the soul of humanity can be born on earth.
To many today, the world situation seems dire, and indeed a variety of interlocking political, economic, social, and ideological crises have come to the fore. Underlying these crises, however, are crises of consciousness and of values that are propelling humanity towards a higher expression of its spiritual potential.
The Great Invocation was given to humanity through a woman named Alice Bailey. She received the invocation from the spiritual hierarchy over a period of 9 years, from 1937 to 1945. It was extended out into the world in April 1945 as WWII was closing out and the world was shattered.
To “invoke” is to call in. There are many who recite the Great Invocation every Full Moon on behalf of all of us. It is also widely used in response to man-made horrific events such as 9/11 and Ukraine.
We are all part of (and share the responsibility for) the shifting consciousness. We are all in this together.
THE GREAT INVOCATION*

From the point of Light within the mind of God
Let light stream forth into human minds
Let Light descend on Earth.
From the point of Love within the Heart of God
Let love stream forth into human hearts
May the Coming One return to Earth.
From the centre where the Will of God is known
Let purpose guide all little human wills
The purpose which the Masters know and serve.
From the centre 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.
