Third Sunday after Trinity - John the Baptist

[Tim Mansfield]

Third Sunday after Trinity

Focus for this week: The Divine as Ruler of Angels

Prayer for the week:
O God the King of Angels, ruler of all the Hosts of heaven, thou hast  
spoken out all the
mysteries to us, O giver of the streams of all revelations and  
dispatcher of all thy radiant
messengers. Thou art the One whom we have loved since our infancy;  
thy light shines out in us
like a lamp of radiance, for thou hast sent to us thy shining Angels,  
who have driven away from
us our forgetfulness of the truth, and have taught us to bless Thee  
and thy light.
Amen.

This Sunday is also the day we celebrate the life of John the  
Baptist, who is particularly beloved of Johannite Gnostic folk.

Prayer for St John:
Remember him O Lord in thy Kingdom, thy servant, a knower of the  
things that are and a true
healer of the souls of men. We praise and thank thee for this light- 
bearer, we thank thee for
having given him the power and wisdom to descend into the underworld  
and to be reborn in
thee, thus being enabled to proclaim thy truth that makes men free.  
Grant that we, following
his most noble example, may with him in length enter into Thine  
ineffable splendor and attain
to the elixir of life, the stone of the philosophers and the supreme  
good.
Amen.
