The Great Invocation was always intended to be given mass distribution and to become a world prayer. Now, in an increasingly pluralistic and multicultural world, the need is to continue to make the Great Invocation accessible to as many people as possible. This matter seems particularly urgent now as the Great Invocation is the major agent for the transformation of the human will into greater alignment with the Will of God.

Language is a living, changing means of expression, and evolves in keeping with changes in human consciousness. Therefore, after much discussion, reflection and group meditation, the members of the international Board of Trustees of the Lucis Trust and the headquarters group in the three centres have concluded that the mass distribution of the Great Invocation – which is intended to be Christ’s own mantram for the Aquarian age – must be allowed to accommodate slight modifications of language without changing its meaning. Our hope is that this decision will enable larger numbers of people to work with the Great Invocation in a slightly adapted form, and in doing so will continue to foster the transformation of consciousness so necessary in this period of planetary crisis.
