A Prayer For These Times

In these times of uncertainty, I offer a prayer which is being said by my fellow MOUP Martinists around the world. If you already have a prayer suggested by your Order, be it Martinist or any other Order – and in the past couple of days I have seen great leadership from the Golden Dawn, the OMS and other Orders in terms of prayer and rituals – then do follow what your group suggests, since it will tap into the egregore of your group.

However, for those who are searching for a meaningful prayer which will link them spiritually to many others around the world, and who are not attached to a particular Order, many English esoteric groups have adopted a prayer first penned by Wellesley Tudor Pole from the Second World War, when he prayed with his friends for London during the Blitz and Hitler’s War. While Dion Fortune’s effort as described in her book ‘The Magical Battle of Britain’ is quite famous, the efforts of quieter groups is less well-known, but equally efficacious.

It is to be said at 9:00pm, to create a wave of prayer around the world, from New Zealand to the Western United States. Despite its catholic flavor, it truly worked and it will work again!

Bless you all, and keep safe! And please forward this if you would like. Having more people pray with us at 9:00pm local time can surely not hurt!

A pre prayer:
I weave a silence onto my lips…… my mind….. and my heart.
Calm me Oh Lord as you stilled the storm.
Still me Oh Lord keep me from harm.
Let all the tumult within me cease.
Enfold me Lord in your perfect peace.
