Joe’s version of: THE FIRST RAY INVOCATION

May the Holy Ones give us the light we seek
and give us the strong aid of their compassion and their wisdom.
There is a peace that passeth all understanding.
It abides in the hearts of those who live in the eternal.
There is a power that maketh all things new,
and it lives and moves in those who know the self as One.
May that peace brood over us and that power uplift us
until we stand where the one initiator is invoked,
until we see that star shine forth.

May all Beings be well
May all Beings be happy
Peace, Peace, Peace

the above is Joe’s short version of:
May all Beings have happiness, and the causes of happiness.
May all Beings be free from suffering and the causes of suffering.
May all Beings never be without the Supreme Bliss which is free from all suffering.
May all Beings dwell in the Great Equanimity, free from all attachment and aversion.
